Get underneath and grab the drive shafts one at a time and wiggle them to check for play.

I had a similar wobble on my last gti and one shaft had a good 1cm of play in it!!!

Just back from my garage. i jacked up the car and spun the wheel and the noise coming from the gearbox/drive shaft area sounds like broken metal..?  :undecided: but it drove 5 miles there and 5 miles back and runs ok apart from vibration from the passenger side.


Cv joint?

well thats what my dad said, i need to get a cv boot as the other is split. im goin to get him to check it out he knows alot more than me.
