Jamesdw Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hi all .I had a look through posts but could not find any solutions My problem is when looking for parts online "particularly drive shafts as mine are noisy" I keep finding the right item but then the specification is sometimes different 🤔for e.g. the length on one item is is 499 mm and another one is 460 mm 🤷♂️ how do I get the right spec for my model.?!?

Started with a very slight knock almost a hum. Most prominent around 30-40 mph .

niedzial1983 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 It does not sound like driveshaft . Best way to test that is on a empty carpark, turn wheels all the way one side and accelerate rapidly then do the other side, if there is a problem you will hear dinstinctive clicking noise . It could a wheel bearing that causes the nosie or even brakepads not retracting ... knock on the wheel could be a ball joint Best will be to take it to a garage for checking.
