Title: GTI Driveshafts

Hey guys

The driveshafts are starting to make a clicking noise
Does that mean a need new or just need to replace something?

Cheers

Sounds like a CV joint, outers are easy to do inners are a little bit more tricky but no big bother :smiley:
Find out which side is clicking and start from there, joints are cheap(ish) £30 each, boots are about £6 each :smiley:

Not had tyres fitted recently by any chance have you??  :rolleyes: Reason I ask is that when I had new tyres fitted, the choppers put the weights right in line with the closest part of the caliper and it was catching and clicking!  :angry:

Clicking could also be the ABS ring catching something.
