Ok that’s good to know. If I crawl around sharp right hand turns it won’t make the noise so I think that’ll be the way to roll. It’s my only car atm so I need to take it to and from work.
I have an appointment at an 86 shop next Wednesday, but I’ll have it looked at before then.
For it to make so much noise, the joint must be totally void of grease...but it would make sense how a sharp right turn under throttle would upset the driver side axle as it’s supporting a ton of weight from the car.
Looks like $320 for an axle fml.
