Cadillac Repair: Front end Noise 1988 Cadillac Barritz, cv joint, tennis shoes

Question
Hi there,

There is a noise coming from the right front end of my car, usually only at speeds over 30mph.  The best way I can describe it is like "tennis shoes in a dryer" it is not a consistent steady knocking, but from the passenger side you call almost feel it in the floorboard.

Answer
Hello.

Obviously, it is impossible to diagnose sounds on this forum, but from your description I would consider a bad right CV joint in the front axle.

Sometimes obvious with ripped axle boot in back of wheel and other times needs diagnosed by road test by mechanic.

Let me know.
