Re: [T3] *tok* *tok* *tok* sound

> 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. (This is
probably the 10th such reply!).
