What problems can be caused by a faulty Driveshaft?
Car vibrating when driving
When driving the car feels like it's vibrating, the sensation can be felt through the steering wheel but may also just be a general vibration noise inside the car.
Car is pulling to left or right
When driving in a straight line the car feels like it is pulling to the left or right. If you don't apply any pressure on the steering wheel and drive in a straight line it will feel as if the car is veering into the oncoming traffic or the side of the road.
Wheels make clicking noise
When the car is moving the wheel makes a clicking sound that increases in frequency with the speed of the car.
Wheels are greasy internally
On inspection of the inside of the wheels they appear to be excessively greasy, especially around the part of the wheel that joins the wheel hub assembly.
