RH driveshaft...

last weekend when i was on my way back to penang, after passing penang bridge toll, my car steering starts to judder heavily to the right... whenever i start accelerating and let go off my steering, it starts to sway left all of a sudden... there were also "klok klok" and "tak tak" sound coming from the front right wheel arch area...

funny thing was the judder disappeared whenever i decelerate or let go of the accelerator pedal... 1st thing comes into my mind is driveshaft... because if it is caused by wheel balancing or wheel bearing, it will continue to vibrate/judder eventhough i decelerate the car... in other words, as long as the wheel is spinning, it will vibrates...

after thorough inspection at all the suspension joint and driveshaft, i noticed the inner rubber cover was abit deformed... means the connecting joint wasnt alligned properly...

not until last saturday only i got my car fixed... situation has worsen and i couldnt even drive above 40kmh or else the whole driveshaft might break into pieces....



what happened was the grease inside had became watery and could no longer provide sufficient lubricant to the bearings inside... this causes the inner bearing to fail...

total damage was Rm200 include labour charge.... =(
