Is My Driveshaft Broken?

Recommended Posts

bluespanner

On the motorway tonight the 205 has developed a horrible vibration, from about 55mph when you put your foot down. and it gets worse until you dare not go faster. The vibe is accompanied by a brrrrrrrrr sound...

 

Any thoughts?

 

Cheers, Roly.

Any noises from the brakes when braking, or reversing and braking?

 

Does the car feel vague when driving? does the vibration get worse when going round corners?

I had a simular problem on my 1.6 gti, turned out to be the inner CV on the right hand shaft.

Sorry to hijack, but i have the problem of clunking noise from brakes when reversing (as richard said). What could this be? Oh an it is a 1.6 cti brake set up with tarox discs and green stuffs. Any help appreciated. :-)

A clunk from the brakes when reversing is worn sliders. The vibes at 55 could be driveshaft/wheel bearing/wheel balance, most probly a cv.

getting way OT here, but mcpikie, that sounds more like a sticking piston. Rust doesnt appear that quickly on brake discs....

I disagree, maybe not visible rust but there will be some slight corrosion especially if it is wet/cold/salty as it is at the moment.

My Audi makes a slight scrape the first time the brakes are applied in the morning when reversing off the drive, after that its fine and doesn't make any other untoward noises.
