Drive shaft making clicking noise

Post by Powercat » Sat Feb 18, 2012 5:54 pm

Drive shaft is making a clicking noise when turning corners, I only noticed it because the stereo was turned off, I think it's the one on the off side,
They seem to be very cheap on eBay........... looks like another thing to go on the to-do list :roll:

Certainly has a CVJ type of noise about it from your description. Those shafts are very cheap, must be plenty about nowadays for refurbing. No idea how easy a fix it is to do DIY.
