hey guys, recently i have been having problems for example tie rod end , uppercontrol arm and now i am suspecting a driveshaft problem when driving at speeds of 25km on a flat road i get massive clunking noise(non-stop) from the Front right wheel .
the car is a ek
and also how hard would replacing a driveshaft cost? while im at it ill do both if its easy
maybe buy these aswell ??? :http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Honda-Civic-ek-CV-Joint-Drive-Shaft-/140688089696#ht_745wt_1031

go repco/burson less than 100 brand new

if your turning your car = make clinking sounds then it's driveshaft

also it could be suspe sion wise problem

it happens even when just going straight . i took off my upper control arm its horrible and worn/torn after that i am going to replace tie rod ends left one is very very loose . but its just my instinct that says its the driveshaft aswell it has a really loud clunk/click noise . how much would mechanics roughly charge to replace them ?

oh shiiit your have torn your upper control arm, thats the worst thing to happen in all time. seriously though im glad you sorted it drive shafts only clunk on a straight line when they are soooooo f***** so since im betting something was loose up the front there its worth geting your torque wrench and going over the suspension

1) check your sway bar bushings - possibly worn out too.

2) faulty/worn shock inserts.

3) screwed wheel bearings
