right im having a bloody nightmare here.
Started off with a knockin about 6 weeks ago turned out to be a cv joint on the shortest shaft. replaced both cv joints and everything was ok 1 week later snapped the inner one on the same shaft, got it replaced as it was still under guarentee everything was ok. I aint done much racing or drove it to hard and i have a knocking on the front end again left handside. The car pulls really hard to the left aswell.
Now im thinking ive had the engine in a yr now and it has been mint only in the last few months have i started havin probs i am running the six speed box and the angle of the shaft might be a problem but i cannot see how as it has been fine until now could it be the gearbox diff?....ive had the box recond (well all the bearings replaced couldnt get sycnros at the time out of stock)


any ideas?


help would be most grateful as the car is starting to annoy me again lol


cheers dec

I had a knocking noise which I thought was my driveshaft. Took it to a garage & it turned out I needed welding on the chasis! :o
