Rear Driveshafts

borinous · 08-10-2017, 02:23 AM

So on my quest to become vibration free next step is driveshafts. from what ive been researching its seem to the most likely part and the vibration behaviours seem to match that of other peoples experiences.

so that said anyone replaced driveshafts before? where'd you get them from? any tips for doing the work myself?

yep its got to that point. ive had it into two local garages and have changed the parts they said had play in them or looked worn and theres no difference.

there seems to be some play and clicking/clunking in the drivers side driveshaft so im pinning my hopes on that being the issue.
