HELPPP NEW Drive shafts MAKING NOISES

Hi,

I just purchased new drive shafts and installed them they are making aloud knocking sound and can feel it in the steering wheel. what could it be?

Several things - did you install yourself ? Or a mechanic ?

Could be

Cv joints binding
Loose hub nuts
Loose knuckle or tierod ends
Even loose lugnuts

The point is the problem is directly related to
The install of driveshaft/s - so back track and make sure everything is tight and there is smooth movement in the geometry of the front suspension.

hey mate thanks for that, the noise would only come when load would be placed on it. I have replaced the drivers side ball joint today as the rubber was split and the bolt part of it was turning and would not tighten up, I have re-installed the drivers side shaft. I will be putting it all back together tomorrow so if it does it again i will pm you.

If the lower ball joint wasn't tight this will give issues - the knuckle will move
About and stuff up your alignment too

I would guess that should fix it so good luck let us know

Just reinstalled the drive shafts and the thing happening, the car only does that when the car is turning right and leaning in the same direction PLEASE PPL HELP ME!!!

Sounds like you put the tripod joint (inner CV) together arse about.

Where did you get the shafts from?
They could be to long and binding when the suspension is compressing or turning will do it to
