Paulvti Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hmmmm but of a tricky one....I've had a new driveshaft before that was improperly balanced and made a horrible knocking/vibration so before you go gearbox try just changing the shaft as it could save a lot of time and money,Check your ball joints and track rod end, you must always start off simple and cheap before digging deep and burning the wallet!It does sound gearbox related but I can't get my head around the 50mph fine as soon as you go over once it happens all the time.... Now that makes NO sense whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrix1 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Problem solved! Took the car to Dynodaze, and after checking the suspension, driveshafts and all the other suspension bits and finding no fault moved on to other things. Discoverd it was the exhaust knocking on the body. Looks like when MIJ exhausts had fitted the system, they didn't centralise the exhaust, and over time the exhaust hangar rubbers have given a bit and therefore allowed the exhaust to knock against the body. Happy that it's sorted, annoyed that I spent £70 to replace the left wheel bearing and then £300 to replace the drive shafts and intermediate shafts when all it needed was to break the hangar weld, centralize and reweld.Anyway, as always thanks for all your help and suggestions.

NIKH25 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Glad you've got it sorted, shame you had to spend so much money on the way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
