Hi,
I didn't know the same people would repsond when I came back. Nothing was wrong with the detailed info that I got in May. I carried the car to 2 mechanics and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They drove it for several miles, around curves, etc. They said they heard the noise, but neither of them could pin point the problem. The last one said it might be a wheel bearing, but he said it was only roaring in a left curve on acceleration. He said that didn't sound like a wheel bearing to him. He said it was a problem that I could end up spending a fortune on trying to figure out a noise and he said to just let it tear up and then fix it. That's just what I did, but when I was under it this morning I just happened to push on the boot and I noticed that it was bad. BTW, the last mechanic also made sure the engine was centered, and he checked all the engine mounts and said everything with that was okay.
The reason I asked this question this morning was to see if maybe the shaft or something had wore out where the boot is worn and maybe that was causing the noise?
Also I was just trying to get an around about figure of what a fair price for the job would be, excluding parts, and about how long the job would take. I have decided it's not something I have time to do myself.
Thanks for your time,
D.J.
