> My daily drive includes a few long, steep hills that I normally travel at around 30-35 mph in 3rd gear at medium RPM. It's a good load on the engine, and I often slow down and move to 2nd gear to avoid lugging the engine. In the last couple of days I have noticed the *tok* *tok* *tok* sound when the engine is under this load. It goes away or lessens if I slow down and shift into 2nd gear. > CV joints. You may get away with cleaning and re-greasing. The balls are dropping into the hollows they've worn over a long time due to the changed suspension angle. Maybe you're heavier loaded than normal.
