Surely I meant for normal and calm torque applications when going straight, that would not make noises.. Since the worn-out CV joint has excess clearances, it is most natural that there will be rattles when you accelerate hard, due to varying impact forces acting on it. And 130000 miles is a reasonable mileage to wear out...
