Okay I have a funny sound coming from the drivers side rear. It only happens when it is over 80 Degrees ambiant outside. Never when cold. It usually comes on after about 30 MPH and goes away suddenly. Sometimes its really loud sometimes quiet.

I made a recording today and though someone might know if I have a problem or just something simple.

1973 914 2.0 D-Jet - Stock as she came from the factory.

Crazy 914 sound MP3 - 4MB

In the audio I start recording when I am doing 40MPH. I do that a while, get to red light. It goes away then I go back to 40MPH and it does not come back, then it just comes back when I am doing about 25. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Thanks in advance,

I have solved the mystery noise. Well I solved it months ago, but full testing is now complete...

Last Spring I repacked my CV joints with new grease and the sound has not returned.

I did not take anything apart, I got a grease gun with an injection needle and put grease in from the rear of the CVs between the rubber boot and the drive shaft. I then massaged the boot to get the grease in all places.

All fixed and has worked great since. Just an FYI to anyone who has this noise. I waited almost a year to make sure the noise did not return before posting this was solved.
