Troubleshooting
Vibration or noise during acceleration
This could indicate a worn or damaged drive shaft. Ensure the correct part is fitted and professionally installed. Check for any damage to the boots or joints.
Vehicle pulling to one side
While not always directly caused by the drive shaft, ensure it's correctly installed and that wheel alignment is checked after replacement. Issues with other suspension components could also cause pulling.
