*Benj* Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi, Apologies if this has been covered, even though I cannot find a verdict to my specific problem. Today randomly during a day out, a clicking noise appeared from the left hand side of the car. It sounded like from the back. I looked on here, but most stories of the 'clicky' driveshaft happened when setting off or reversing, however my 350 starts clicking at around 30-40mph getting faster as I drive faster? If a normal garage has to grease the shaft how much is the going rate? Or how easy is it for a novice to the DIY fix? Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Check that the rotor dirt shield is not infringing on the rotor. Check your pads, especially the inner rear for wear. 1 hour to grease and rotate, easy if you are handy with spanners, there is a guide in the guides section I think. Alex.

*Benj* Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks for that, it passed its MOT on the 25th of June with no advisories. Would/should any of the causes have been picked up? I will have a look anyway thanks Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
