This seems a little strange, but here it goes.
I get a Noise that sounds exactly the same as CV Joints when braking at a certain pressure on the brake, if I brake hard nothing, if I brake soft nothing, but if I brake sort of average, the noise appears, and the noise is endless until the car stops or you lift off the brake. You can be going around a corner or a straight line for this to happen. There is no noise when I turn in either direction.
I am not exactly sure of the design of these cars, however we have narrowed the issue down to between the gearbox and the hub, We had the car on a hoist today and there is no lose bold, no rubbing marks nothing, So what I would like to know, is there a CV Joint on the Shaft that goes into the gearbox? if so is it attatched to the shaft and what would be needed to replace it?
Any help would be grateful.
Thanks, Dr_Twist

CV's usually only make noise while going around a corner. They very rarely make noise going straight or under braking. Unless they are BADLY worn.
Are your caliper shim/clips in? A bouncing brake pad can sort of sound like a CV, they bounce around when driving and under slight braking.

Checked, the entire brake system has done a once over, everything has been checked anything sus has been replaced, its definatly not in the brake system.

When you say bearings, your referring to Wheel Bearings yes?
