I had the CV's replaced on my vehicle a couple of months ago prior to heading to the Kennedy Ranges. Initially I just wanted the boots replaced as they were all cracked and starting to split. My mechanic suggested new CVs instead of new boots as he could install all new ones at a really good price. After assurances they were decent quality I had them installed and headed off.
The old girl is a bit noisy inside, particularly when loaded up with gear so I didn't really notice anything until I got home, but now there is a real loud hum or whine apparent when driving around the suburbs and its starting to get real annoying. It sounds like a transmission whine but it seems rather coincidental that it also corresponds with the CV's being changed.
So my question is, is it likely to have anything to do with the new CV's or is it something more sinister - I wouldn't have thought CV's would cause a whine? A week before the CV's were installed I went from worn out KM2s to brand new KO2s so I was expecting things to have been a bit quieter, not noisier.
