Good Sunday Morning Everyone!
I am beginning to sense a very, very slight bump, bump, bump on acceleration. More noticeable in 2nd gear, less in 3rd, even less in 4th. It almost sounds like the beginnings of a classic CV joint failure, except it is on straight line acceleration, not while turning. It only happens when under load, and goes away as soon as I back off the accelerator to steady speed.
The speed of the bump increases with the speed of the car (as opposed to speed of the engine), so I suspect it is somewhere btw. the trans and the wheel.
CV joint boots are in good shape. Front wheels/lugs are tight.

Any ideas?
