Bloody drive shaft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnny182]

Meaning to put this up for a while just in case some poor guy did what I did (waste money).

A while a go I had 3 wheel bearings go in quick succession ££££££££££ then I thought brillant back to driving NOPE instead I got this violent juddering when reaching a certain speed usually 55mph but only if I stayed at that speed for say 2 mins but if I constantly fluctuated my speed no juddering of course I though wheel balance got it done ££££ kwik fit said I had alot of s**t gathered in my alloys. Problem started again bought a new set of alloys problem still there balanced wheels again. While all this was going on in my mind I kept thinking driveshaft IT WAS!!! drivers side drive shaft it had leaked a little grease and it was the culprit. Fixed now so hope this helps!

Loch awe - beautiful place btw

eh now this for certain but I think my cup packed one was around 90 quid but I have been told £200. I tried everywhere to get them but a think Renault are the only ones so they do an exchange basis.
You got this problem pal? Loch Awes ....... quiet lol

Aye Loch awe is beautiful but quiet .. I prefer it quiet

There's a place in Glasgow along Alexandra Parade that sorts driveshafts iirc.
