The mechanic is not sure if it has anything to do with the noise and clunks we were getting for the last few months. It is from the same place as the noise, near side front.
The driveshaft has completely broken off at the nut, the wheel looked like it was ready to drop off.
So now I have another big bill and again it may not solve our clunking and grinding problem we have had for a while, that no mechanic can find or work out what it is.
But what I have noticed that when I drove the car to the garage earlier the clunking seemed to have gone, now here is my question, do you think the driveshaft problem was my underlying problem after all, or has it broken because of the clunking (loose part maybe), and when I have the new driveshaft £600 plus labour on top fitted, will the clunking come back as it will be back rigid again?
I am fed up of the car I wish I could get it running Ok, just enough time to get rid of it.
