No one has it untill Monday :( waiting for someone to ring me back for tomorrow.
Anyway, I think you might of been on the money a few posts back.
Jacked up drivers side, and the CV/drive shaft looks like:
I'll put it in both threads, incase you don't see the other one.

Is that the upper gearbox mate?
Useful as ever boys, thanks.
The only one ECP shows up as having is this one:

Would that be the upper gearbox one...
Hi guys
Basically, I need to change some of my engine mounts today. Where is the best place to buy them so I can have them today? I have a feeling most auto factors won't have them on the shelf?
Eurocrapparts only shows having the "left" mount, would that be gearbox one? (one under the...
I'm gonna crack on with changing engine mounts today, but really not sure which ones to change.
I can rock the engine backwards and forwards with ease, the drivers side mount is the one that moves. While I do that, there is a "click" coming from towards the passenger front wheel, possibly...
Unfortunately rain stopped most progress, so didn't even look at the car. I'm hoping the drivers shaft is the root to all these problems though. I take it the wheel bearing couldn't cause the clicking/knocking? Bearing in mind the clicking has been there since I got the car, the bearing noise...
Yeah I will, I was just seeing if CV was knackered on the other side, as that did look realy great, and as if it had a new boot.
Anyway, wheels on lock to the left, passenger turret looks like this:
The turret top looks bent in places.
Pass is fine, looks like this
Could that have...
Sorry, it didn't have a "new" cv on it, it was just a different one to what was fitted to my car originally (I.e I
Couldn't be bothered swapping CV's so replaced a shaft with a CV on it)
I'm sort of hoping the new shaft has had it too, would stop a lot of headache.
I plan to mate yeah, if I can...
Well the engine rocks backwards and forwards with ease (haven't tried side to side), what would be the best method of attack?
And just to make sure, the mount couldn't be causing the cv to knock/rub, could it?
Ohhhhh got you. So that wouldn't be causing the knocking on the left handers? Where is the other mount, sorry I'm a noob. Only because a mechanic mentioned one of them has been powerflexed, looking under the car it's in the middle, towards the back of the bay, right at the bottom.
Thanks a lot...
Could make a lot of sense. I take it being able to rock the engine by leaning on it (I.e not a lot of effort involved) then thats probably a shot mount?
Where abouts do they bottom out on mate?
And another, unrelated question. How can I tell which mount is knackered? Drivers side upper one...
Lads Iv just had a though. One of my engine mounts has had it, and i get a clock from around the pass side of the gearbox low down when rocking the engine by hand. Couldn't be related could it?
Failing that, top mounts?
When on left hand bends, it feels a lot like violent rumble strips
Cheers
Cheers pal! I'll try this with the one I took out yesterday. And try get the drivers side off and do the same.
Also, you mentioned lift off mate, but mine happens even if I'm accelerating.
Is there nothing else that can cause knocking on left hand bends? It just sounds like something's...
I hope not mate. It's strange, I have exactly the same symptoms as before, it doesn't click on full lock going left or right, say out of junctions etc, just on fast left hand bends.
I forgot to mention it before, just before I decided to change it, going around a round about, I'd hear a very...
When you say spec mate, what do you mean? It's just a normal 172, standard non cup. 51 plate.
The guy said it was the same yeah, it was the same length, and there has been no change from before and after
Chip and Danny-
Well, the clicking happens under sharp left turns, can really feel it. I...
Right can anyone help, I replaced the drive shaft as before, under left turns at speed, i got a fast knocking/clicking, and could feel it in the car. I also had a whining/groaning coming fromthe same wheel.
Iv replaced the shaft with a second hand one with a new cv on it , and it's doing...
