    SADS problem as in noise only in Drive

    I'm a pro wrench trying to fix a customers 91 Previa. The SADS shaft is making a noise from the front end only at lower RPMS in Drive. Shift to neutral or reverse or get up above 30 MPH and the noise goes away completely. The shaft has new off Ebay alum and rubber bushing parts on both ends and is tight and has no slop. I've checked all the mounts and none of them appear to be obviously bad. The front accessory cradle does move in sych with the noise. The noise started a few months ago and was very small and only happened when the alternator had a load on it. i.e. you could make the noise come and go by turning on or off the headlights. I had the alternator checked and its fine and as time has gone on the noise has steadily gotten louder.

    I just got out there and inspected this again and it appears the passenger front cradle mount is bad....New ones are ordered will report back after they are installed.

    Thanks
    Rick
