Bro, NO WAY! (SWEET! DUDE!, I could go on all day with Dude, Where's My Car). According to my Lawyer/Mechanic friend, he thinks it's probably just a bad CV. I have a spare Axle/CV that I got from that 89 Jetta Trophy I parted out. I'll slap it on tomorrow morning and I'll let you know.
Last Sunday I put on my 1 piece BBS wheels, I noticed that it was making a slight vibtation at 150Km/h but went away at 160Km/h, I just blamed it on a mis-balanced wheel. The sound is almost identical from the 2 events.
