Try reposting this question in the C4 tech/performance section. I'm sure someone will chime-in and help you out.

i think i had same problem ? there is a oil slinger that diverts the fluid away from the bearing. that fell off and was loose on pinion. that was my understanding anyway. they pressed on a new one and all was well. however the labor to disassemble was not pretty.

I had the exact same symptoms in my 87.
I replaced a wheel bearing and the U-joints and it was fixed.
The problem was only one u-joint but while I had it apart...
You would get a much better response in tech/perf.

I forgot one other thing. I would get a vibration at high speeds (over 100mph) as well.

I have a 93'. It sounds like a u-joint on the drivers side drive shaft. I to had vibration at 70 mph. I took it apart and sure enough one joint was dry. Replaced both of them though. This took care of the problem. A decent machanic can hear the noise and know if it is a u-joint. Hope this helps.

Check the parking brake cable on that side, see if it is dragging on the wheel.
