funky "tinny" ping
suspect: 2000 v70xc se with 110k miles
this funky "tinny" ping has recently begun. it is intermittent and repeats with a frequency consistent with the vehicle speed. at first i thought it was a cv joint going bad because it happened when the front wheels were turned and it sounded as if it were coming from the front left.
now, i think i have narrowed it to the drive shaft. any thoughts on what this could be? i will have a look this evening.

RE: funky "tinny" ping
You should be fine.
What happens is there is almost like a really small CV joint in the front of the driveshaft where it meets the Diff.
The boot tears and the grease comes out/ gets contaminated and it goes bad.
But you need to buy a new driveshaft to fix the problem. I believe the new shaft is like $1000.00.
