What Is Normal Play In Driveshafts?

Recommended Posts

vern

I am trying to establish the cause of a very bad wobble that starts at about 45mph and gets progressively worse the faster you go. I have had the wheels balanced which improved the problem, there is no play in the lower arms/ ball joint, all I can find is some play in the driveshafts, Drivers side has about 6mm in/out of CV joint movement, passenger side has about 2-3mm up/down movement, is this normal??.

Will the movment in the driveshaft cause the wobble I am getting.

from experience, a knackered o/s top engine mount will cause problems
