I think my right inner cv joint is going bad. The rear of the car vibrates under any kind of acceleration. The car has 37k on it and it's going to take some evidence that this is a common problem for them to cover it under warranty.

I was hoping that anyone who has had problems with their inner cv joints would reply and tell me how many miles were on their car when this happen, and the circumstances.

thanks

It is the CV's (not the diff) - it's a common problem.

Do a search, plenty of posts on the topic. I'd say it usually happens around 30k miles.

I can feel it vibrate from that side, and if you're in the passenger seat you can feel it even more. It's definatlely the right side.
