Driveshaft problem

Post by Chey »

Hi guys

I has a rather noisey problem on the drivers side, first they thought it was the cv joint, new one of them all is well, then later the problem is back, new bearings solve it for a while then its back, well we dont use the car much but enough that now its clicking all the time regardless and the only thing the garage here can advise is to change the driveshaft, tbh im sick of them just guessing whats wrong.

Anyway, so far all attempts at getting a new driveshaft have failed (mostly cos the ones i have found they dont know if they would be a match for an automatic) and to have ours reconditioned is going to be a min of £200 plus vat, not something i readily have just before xmas.

if anyone has one for sale, knows of where i could poss get one, or where i could get mine reconditioned cheaper etc would much appreciate any info/help.

She is our only car nowdays, so driving to collect would be tricky.

if you need more info than that just ask

Really appreciate any help/advice that can be given
