driveshaft or something knocking

  1. #1
    right. last sunday night a light knocking developed and was the inner boot have split on a 6month old shaft . put a second hand shaft in but i knew is was fcuked. it knocked just as bad but the boots werent split and was knocking because it was an old worn out shaft.


    earlier today a brand new driveshaft arrived from that company in england that does them cheap. fitted it and took it for a drive and the car makes the same noise (rattling like mad) when decelerating. at low speed creeping up to a set of traffic lights and its a loud creaking noise. so if its this driveshaft aswell ill get it replaced. but what else can it be?


    any help appreciated

    thanks

    I'm in the same boat, have no idea what it is. Can't tell where it's coming from but sounds like my exhaust moving but it's solid. Driving me mad!
