G'day, appreciate the service lots.

Had CV replaced bout 3-4 years ago. Does not occur when turning specifically, but feels like is rubbing. Possibly, brake fluid?

Any way to test if it is CV? Is it possible engine or mechanically. Is not a loud knocking and runs with or with out accelerator depressed.

Any tips?

Thanks.

Try to make a hard turn after at aout 20 miles an hour in front of someone standing on the outside and listening. This sounds like a possible wheel bearing issue. Typically the bearing will give a hum noise that may change in pitch when turning, but have also heard bad one that click intermitanttly, but most pronounced on a turn as I described.
