Driveshaft knock ?

[dc2r-0636]

Sup guys

Got a problem that's fukn irritating.

I'm getting a random knock coming from my passenger driveshaft or Coilover
I've tighten all the nuts and perches around the coilovers and arms.


Noise happens every now and then, espcially when I angle my car up a driveway.

The Reason why I think it's the driveshaft coz when I went under the car I grabbed the driveshaft and it has slight play and a knock. Where as the drivers side doesn't.

So what's the deal? New drive shaft needed ? New bearings ?
Boh!:o

Who's there?

[bennjamin]

tried tightening the 32/36mm driveshaft nut ?
Checked the lower ball joint crown nut - that its tight ? (17mm headed)

check wheel bearings too, my civic did it and i to thought it was driveshaft and had them rebuilt and same thing again till i changed bearings.

Mine turned out to be play in the ball joint. Bearings should make noise when rolling, not just on driveways etc

[sammutn90]

my mate had the same problem it could be your springs on your coilovers they make a knocking noise when you turn.

try some coil wrap it prevents it from not making the noise

see if that helps

Bump,

Have tightened every nut On the control arms, suspension, driveshaft nut..
Even raised the front end and still has the random knock /clunk...

[ceekay101]

Were the drive shafts taken out? Or random knock? If taken out double check the mid shaft is secure etc.

[dc2r-0636]

nah drive shafts wernt taken out just tightned that 34mm nut..

[ceekay101]

Possibly the CV joint on the driveshaft is worn? Balljoints? tie rod ends? If everything is tight then there's excessive play causing a knock.

[dc2r-0636]

CV joints are perfect, got a local mechanic to look at the car and he couldn't fault it or figure out where the noise is coming from..

shock center nut (up top) tight?

[dc2r-0636]

^
Suprisingly it was loose but I tightend it and still knocking !

The top bush in the struts may be stuffed
