I have a speed related front end noise on my 1995 Aerostar with E-4WD.

I have a '95 AWD Aerostar with a grinding noise coming from the right side on a left hand turn at any speed. With a listening device I eliminated the wheel bearing and the outer end of CV shaft. It seems to be coming from the inner end of CV. Its not a metallic sound or a clicking sound but more of a rubber or plastic grinding with a speed related pulse to it. Is that what these CVs sound like as they wear out? I would appreciate any response. Thank You.

Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread to add more details. Do you see any damage on the CV boots? Are they leaking grease?

Outer boots are fine, no grease. The inner end seems to be coupled with a flange of some sort going into trans case. I wonder if thats where the noise is coming from. I'm going to try to get a repair manual on this thing to get a better grip on it.
