I have a 2002 Buick Park Ave. Where the drivers side drive shaft enters the transmission. There is movement up and down and in and out, and when driving down the road it makes a noise that sounds like a bearing is bad. Is this inside the transmission or the CV joint?
No- drive shaft- on front wheel drive vehicle
Two CV Drive Axles
I would guess you have a failed drive axle
There are ways to test for inner or outer joint failure,
but the entire axle gets replaced anyway
You could have a bad Wheel Hub Bearing Assy also
If so do both sides
It is easier to change the whole half shaft than it is to change just the CV joint.

Hi Caarl
The lateral movement in the output shaft is normal and nothing to worry about.

We have the same problem at our shop. We haven't rebuilt the front differential yet. We tried 3 different shafts on 2 different Jeeps and the noise is on both just the same. By greasing the front driveshaft cv joint, we got he noise to quiet some, but it is still way to loud. With the driveshaft out, the noise is gone. We are about to buy a new shaft from the dealer for $600. There are some service bulletins about some noisy driveshafts.

The electric adjustment motor has a drive-gear that engages a gear on the shaft of the adjustment screw (90 degree engagement). The gear on the adjustment shaft looses a tooth. Adjustment motor whines, drive gear on adjustment motor spins, no action though because of missing tooth. A 12mm 1/4" drive socket on a wiggler (universal) on the end of a 6" extension can engage the not on the end of the exposed large adjustment shaft and, as the shaft is lightly loaded and the electrical switch engaged, one can get the shaft to spin almost one revolution at a time until the seat is high enough. It is hard to reach the nut necessary (inside the dull-grey clevis that the shaft threads into) and I had to take off the seat pad by removing the 4@ 13mm nuts (and 3 @10mm nuts holding the center section with the driver's cushion) to more-or-less easily access the situation. Dealership wanted well over $1000. to fix it. Three out of my 4 up and down adjustment motors are running, but don't adjust. PS, on my 2001 Park Avenue on each seat there is one adjustment motor for the front edge up and down, one adjustment motor for the rear edge up and down, one adjustment motor for the seat fore and aft, and one adjustment motor for the sear back tilt. Lots of complication, not so much on durability. We do not swap out drivers and adjust the seats excessively. Weak design on the one internal gear. Manually adjust it, unplug the electric to the motor, Drive happy again.

No, never drive without cv shafts, i tried it and my wheel bearing blew apart and I lost a wheel after driving for 10 miles

I change both wheel hub bearings when one goes
Doesn't matter what stabilizer does--- the bushings need
to be done-- so you say
Maybe you replaced the wrong drive axle
Put the front tires on the back to see what happens
