I’m guessing it the CV joint/ boot
Maybe. But those usually make noise at all speeds - especially when turning, when they're on the way out. Easy fix though. If you can post a video of the sound on YouTube with public permissions and link it back here, we can give it a listen to help verify.

Depending on how long they've been open could most definitely be your issue. If the grease inside attracted dust, dirt,and moisture, there will be a gravely sounding from them. The contamination can also accelerate wear on the components causing time to become more sloppy.

Hi to all.

So I took it to the Chevy dealer and there replacing the axels. Over $900 dollars but insurance is paying for it and the bolts to go with it. Very happy. I’m out the $415 for labor. I’ll take that any day.

Aloha to all.

Just thought you would like to know.

So, is the work done yet and is the issue resolved, or is the work yet to be done?
