Well today was a great Day

Driving to ingleburn to see Adrian...

Coming up monvale road, hear this clunk then the steering wheel starts vibrating and the car starts shaking, i could still drive it no probs, but little scary, i pulled over and called NRMA, Guy came out checked it over.

They ended up towing it home as i didnt want to casue anymore damage and i was under 20km from my house so nrma is free yay :P

i got it home and put it up on the jacks and inspected the car when i turn the front hub the car made a clicking noise, and i could feel some strange thing inside the inner passenger driveshaft boot

well after taking it all out i see what the problem is all the bearings are cactus broken and loose not good. i dont know what casued it is that normal ?
the boots were changed like 2 weeks ago and have been driving without a prob till today...

so yeah car is out of action till i get the drive shaft reconditioned and new bearings not good :(

heres a pic of the bearings and yeah camera phone :(

Its possible that when your boots were changed that something got in there?
