i get a rattling when ive got some right hand lock on and applying power, im pretty sure its a drive shaft, but which one ? it went straight thru the mot in july, so it wont be the anti roll bar or a bush etc ( unless they missed it ) this rattling was present before the mot, it dont rattle with left hand lock on, thanks for any replies

Sounds like it's the driveshaft, it's not failed but on its way out. It's not something the MOT would check for. Search for J&R driveshafts the good quality and a good price.

thanks for the reply, but which one would you say it is, i know the garage will be able to tell, im just curious, i know your supposed to do both at the same time but its the money atm or lack off so will have to do the one thats rattling.

thanks for all help and replies, i had both shafts done last friday + gear box oil change because as you know it dumps the oil when you pull a shaft out, £125 all in more than happy with that quiet now no knocks or rattles

for any one who lives in nottingham or close i use star garage on nottingham road, nottingham, very good, very reasonable prices as you can see, quick and reliable, ( not advertising here, mods edit if you think so ) thanks again all i will be back
