I'm trying to isolate the cause of drive train noise in my son's 1991
Prizm (Toyota Corolla). The best I can characterize the noise is a
whine, with a rumble component that turns to a loose clatter on
deceleration. I can hear noise from the driver's side CV as I turn the
wheel by hand. What steps (besides serial parts replacement) can I use
to determine if the noise is being generated by the CV, the wheel
bearing or (minor chords here) the transaxle?

Thanks,

Im not a vehicle mechanic..far from it..sigh..but it sounds like you
are due for a CV joint.
Id replace the wheel bearing at the same time. Cheap enough.
