whinning with speed, cv joint?
2007 cooper S. started hearing this wo - wo noise, similar to a sound from a bad tire. have tried a different tire, noise is still there. The noise becomes noticeable around 30 mph, and get louder at speed.
There is a small play on the passenger side half shaft by the tranny side. do CV joints go bad?
and lately, at speed50-60 mph, when touching brake initially, I do get a small pulsation from the steering wheel. just a small left/right jolt. (not from brakes, nothing wrong with the rotors).
thanks for any help.

It is either a bad CV joint (yes, they do go bad) or possibly a hub bearing. My wife's Jeep Patriot had (2) bad CV's up front at only 60K miles, so yes, they can go bad. Diagnosing between the two isn't real easy, but can be done with the car up in the air...which is best left up to a shop to do. Good luck.
