I played mechanic today, took the wheels off my z and ran it on axle stands, i was worried that the prop was knackered as the noise and vibration im getting is louder than my stereo, Anywayran the car on axle stands, vibes still there so i got my brother to sit in it and take it to 60kmph the noise was really loud at the near side hub and silent at the offside ive nailed the sound to the nearside rear c.v joint and the driveshaft attached to it is clearly not spinning true. Im chuffed ive found the problem now all ive got to do is fix it! Jeff TT if your out there anywhere what are you like at changing driveshafts/c.v's (still got to get the steering boots done too!)

Errrmmmmmmmm.........

 

I HOPE you only did that with the suspension fully loaded and not dropped!!!! If the suspension was allowed to drop under this condition I'm surprised you have ANY driveshafts left!!! The test must be done with the wheels off the ground but still taking the full weight of the car (jack the wheel end of the wishbones..)

 

I'm sorry if this IS how you did it - I just get scared when I see posts like this - too easy to do SO much damage

 

CheerZ,

Bloody hell! I put axle stands under the wishbones so yes the full weight was still on where the wheels should be but it was more by luck than judgement! Phew.
