Cv Shaft squeak

[Hairdo12]

I have a squeak I've isolated to my driver side cv shaft where the shavft connects to the transmission. The squeak only occurs during low speeds of 7 mph or lower and it doesn't matter if the brake is pressed or not. The squeak occurs in both forward and reverse and only randomly is louder during slight left hand turn at low speed. Is this thing on its way out or is this just a nuisances. The shaft has no play and there are no other typical symptoms of failure. At speeds over 7 mph it's silent. Thank you.

Typically a cv will click with a sharp turn. Doing slow figure 8s will reveal a failing cv. It's not a terrible job but on a first gen it's a great time to do a ball joint. On a second gen you can likely unbolt the strut from the spindle to change it.

Turns out it was the output shaft seal. $5 part.

I'll be darned, was it leaking?

Dry as a bone. That's why I was scratching my head, it's like I'm the first person on the Internet to experience this, had no idea if it was failing or just annoying.
