Sefton-EP91 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 A silly question to some but not for others.Is there any particular way you have to fit the driveshafts? Maybe a circlip you have to bypass for them to be tight etc I would assume they just slot in either side (Hub and gearbox). Job done!!Reason I ask is, since my engine build I have this small knocking when going over small bumps, I raised the car up at work and the passenger driveshaft has play in it. You can shake the shaft (a small amount) enough for it to knock about. I hope the above statement isn't too confusing. Thanks for any help in advance!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Driveshafts just slide in mate.. Undo the nuts at the ball joint, push the shaft in the box and then the hub and just do it all up again .. Hub nuts too etc.. There is a little movement left to right with the shafts but shouldn't be lots up and down, very minimal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 If that's the case my joints must be knackered, they don't knock when turning but going over bumps they knock. I can actually make the driveshaft knock with the car raised! Thanks Matt, your help is much appreciated mate!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 CV joint then I would say if there is excess movement up and down Your welcome mateMatt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
