cliffcoggin Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 It is most likely a CV joint. You can test it by putting it in a gear with the engine off, then crawling under the car and clamping the drive shaft with self-locking grips (e.g. Mole grips). Rock the shaft to and fro to detect any play, which you will hear and see if the joint is worn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Hill Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I would use a company called J&R CV joints, they are a British based company and they send out on a usually next day delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can say? The company seems to have a good reputation and accepts returns, however £23 is remarkably cheap for a piece of complex machining.
