Judder from driveshaft (Williams)

[Spree]

I have just had a williams front track fitted to my valver with -35mm lowering springs and I am encountering a judder from the left drive shaft when turning left under certain circumstances.
My mechanic is not exactly sure why and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions?
The engine is also a williams lump if this helps....

It could be the CV joint of the driveshaft. Pull back the boot and check theres still grease in there. If that's OK the only other thing I can think of is that the driveshaft is hitting something???

the front suspention aint been put back together proper and or the top mount bearing has gone

Cheers for that, I am still after suggestions as I am taking the car back to my mechanic tomorrow to try and resolve the problem.
He says he is going to take the drive shaft out and put the three pronged spider on the end of the shaft back in, in one of the other two possible locations as he says that sometimes the car can 'wear in' in a certain way and it doesnt like having things changed about.....
He also thinks that it could be because of the lowering springs but i have never heard of this problem before..

Springs won't effect it .....mines well low and my shafts have never juddered

Did you use williams shafts?

 

[Spree]

Yes, I got the whole front track from a williams.....taking it back to mechanic now so will let you know any news.

After a bit messing about with the left driveshaft with the machanic who fitted the wide-track, I took my car to a good exhaust center to get some other bits done and the frenchman (cool coincidence) who was working on my car pointed out that the RIGHT HAND drive shaft did not have its split pin in and was moving about. It had also been put on so that the holes that the split went through were not even ligned up and were one cog out.
Taking it back to him tomorrow to get it sorted.
My mechanic is used to renault 5's wich dont have the pin on the right drive shaft so I expect this is why he made this mistake....

They don't need the roll pin in, new shafts from reno no longer have the hole there.
