hi guys can anyone help with this one?
It appears both my drive shafts are on there way out didnt think it would cost that much but the cheapest i could find around me is £300 for a pair of second hand ones where there is no real guarantee there isnt anything wrong with them already, thats through mill auto.

Any ideas? Cheers Jenks

try anglo japanese in derby, tell em ur in the club, tel 01332 381673, make sure you've got ur VIN number handy

£300 second hand sounds like taking the piss chap!

I doubt there's anything wrong with the drive shafts - I'm sure you should be looking at getting your CV Joints sorted ...

very good point

would that be making the clicking noises when turning the wheels then?
It started whenever i put the wheels on full lock but now its on most roundabouts and corners too. not the best noise to hear! would the cv joints cost less to do?

Yep, that'll CV joints and it'll cost you somewhere between £170 and £300 depending on where you go.

Thanks, on that note, the steering is pulling bit by bit to the left when i drive, is that related? what is it? should i be worried because i do alot of miles at the mo. only had the tracking done a month ago so shouldnt be that.

it could b the cv joint on the left it either worn more or has less oil so it taking it to the left when u have ur cv joints done get the trackin done again

Worn CV joints aren't that much of a worry. The wheels won't fall off - they might just stop being powered one day - it's more the annoying knocking noise that will drive you to get them done.

Yeah, gotta do mine... again, i think it must be a little design flaw, this'll be my 3rd set in 4 years

Design flaw or how it's driven!!!!

Oh design flaw definatly, who, me? chuck into bends regardless of speed, hee hee :-$

ive just had my cv joint done 41 quid for the joint and 20 fitting. just need a new wheel bearing now as its still making the noise

wow, where was that done mate?

What ever you do, avoid "Remanufactured" or "Reconditioned" CV's - saves you a couple of quid in the short term, but they really don't last, so you wind up spending much more on labour in the long run. Rather cough up the extra sheckels to buy proper new reputable brand CV's ...

Just in case anyone ever has the same prob. the pulling was down to the fact that the boot on the cv joint had split all round and i had no grease at all left?! Got that fixed cost £20 and the steering is fine again. Still making the noise but then i cant afford to buy new cv joints! thanks for the help guys....Jenks

Thats a common MOT failure...more common with jap cars
