My 04 V70 2.4 FWD has a loud clicking noise when going into D or R (not if I go from N to D or R twice in the same direction, though). I think this has been getting louder for many thousands of miles but am not sure as it is my wife's car and I don't drive it often. It has 92k on it. Tranny oil looks and smells good.
A mechanic put it on the lift and said there is play in both wheels. CV boots are fine, though. He thinks the right wheel is noisier than the left but that the noise radiates across the axle so it is hard to tell. He said he fears it is in the differential.
Before I have him pull the boots off and search for a bad c.v. joint, does anyone have any opinions or views on this? Thanks.
