Your's probably crimped on the inside. Shouldnt matter much if crimped outside or inside, so long as it's the correct length and it fits.Oh..never now that. Do you know how does the rubber boot for the inner joint is secured? normally it uses a metal clip.mine is somewhat secure inside.
This is pretty basic which I'm sure you've already checked - but have you replaced the ball joints and bushes on the arms and all?Guess what, 2 days ago i got kluk2 noise from my drivetrain and after checking at a shop they said its the driveshaft (driver side). Its very noticeable.
On my way home i notice the knocking is stronger when i accelerate but will disappear if i turn the steering at certain angle or at very low speed.
Last night i remove the shaft and discover that the inner boot is torn. Other than that i cannot feel any excessive play. Since the rubber boot is torn and i assume dirt got into it and damaged the joints i went and get a new one today.
After installing i went for a test drive and the problem is still there. Its will disappear at certain steering angle and at low speed.Sometimes when not under load (acceleration) it does not knock. The shock it produce is like when we run over the metal reflective thing on the road but sharper knock. BTW i havent done the allignment.
When comparing the new shaft and the old one i notice the new one is slightly longer. Then again, the inner joint can slide in and out right?
I am starting to think its the gearbox but if it is then the problem should not disappear at low speed or certain steering angle as the gearbox still spins regardless.
What do u guys think?
New part does not fit properly?
Yup, i have checked all the bushes and joints;This is pretty basic which I'm sure you've already checked - but have you replaced the ball joints and bushes on the arms and all?
I wish I dreamed about cars and parts and all... I keep dreaming of stupid dumb things like shopping centers and getting lost in thailand malls.Yup, i have checked all the bushes and joints;
1.Lower arm is about 1 year plus and so far no play or worn ball joints.
2.Tie rod are old but no excessive play.
Last night right before i fell asleep feeling mad as the problem is not resolved, i got an idea on what might be the issue. I have bought the part today and will replace it tomorrow morning. Will share the outcome tomorrow evening if i manage to complete the job in the morning. Its funny + stupid (mistake from my side) at the same time.
Hahah..I wish I dreamed about cars and parts and all... I keep dreaming of stupid dumb things like shopping centers and getting lost in thailand malls.
You funnyHahah..
Guess what is the actual problem on my car?
It was actually the left (shorter) driveshaft that needed to be replaced. I only recalled it as i was abt to sleep last night.
I replaced it today and vibration is gone.
I dont even know what make me remember that it what the right driveshaft.
Shhhh...dont laugh so loud. So far this matter is not known to my brother. He will use this as a punch line against me whenever he got the chance as i have been poking him with jokes on how long he took to fix his w124 rear brakes and his iriz front brakes when both job combined should take less than 1.5hrs to complete.You funny
