Drive shaft play...

[BraindG]

I still appear to have a voop voop voop issue on the car, it quickens as the car goes faster.

I already changed wheel bearings on both sides and also the steering rack ends...

I don't appear to have play on the wheel when I wiggle 12/6 and 3/9..

This leaves only the drives shafts..

If I grab the shafts an move in and out I should expect to have some play, after all that's what they are designed to do..

However, should I be able to wiggle them up and Down left and right and expect play? - it produces a knocking noise when I do...

And a video, moving up and down..

I had a very odd noise a while ago when u switched my tyres front to back, it was from the front and was caused by the wear on the inside edge where the camber was so bad on the rear. But drive shafts may have a bit of lateral play in then, but they shouldn't when you twist them.

At first it made me think of a video I posted a few years back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKD57BS8JvE
But it's not the same I think. Although I am currently in the middle of replacing/swapping over all CV-joints on the VR2.
