If you drive your car slowly and turn your steering wheel on full lock in both directions do you get a loud clicking/clunking sound?

at speeds of about 100-110kw/hr do you get a wobble/vibration in the steering wheel for the first 5mins or so and then it seems to go away?

no clucking noise
and it doesnt go away

if im driving normal its there but you really cant feel it
as soon as i nail it bang its like the whole steering wheel wants to pop out of my hand

checked your wheel nuts lately?

They may be loose.

[mr747]

nah man there not loose
i just done a wheel alighment and balance its not that
the mechnic thinks its the drive shafts just checking if anyone else has experienced this same problem
its not like driving a euro anymore its like im driving a gemini

I had that problem in my old nova, it turned out to be a driveshaft bearing.

There have been several cases in the US TSX forum where other people had similar issues (wheel shaking, tyre rotation and balance did not fix) resolved by replacing the shafts. Yours seems more pronounced than theirs as they only reported it at highway speeds.

Also in their cases the dealers had no clue and shaft replacement (both sides) was their last resort.

Good luck.

Try and get some reconditioned shafts.Where the cv joint part has been replaced.

My friends euro did the same thing too,so we when to a driveshaft specialist and they take out both shaft to have a good look,found out the RH shaft bearing was fxxk and he also mention that the car is too low,both driveshaft push in too much,so he machined a few cm in on both shaft and works fine now:wave:

thats my issue as well

tooo much pressure on everything

Even though this is an old post I had the exact same issue. Slighty noticable under low load conditions but when you hit above 80kpmh with load it felt like the car wanted to take off!! I took it to a driveshaft specialist and in 4 hours I had my draftshafts replaced and the woobles disappeared! The specialist said the issue was caused from the previous owner lowering the car.

[mr747]

same i had to replace my drive shafts aswell
all good now

[doosra]

[mr747]
