Prop shaft issues and squeaky steering
Posted: Wed Jan 01, 2014 4:15 am
Hello and happy new year to all!
First bit of issue with the X tonight , there was a rotational clicking noise coming from the middle of the car (like down the center right inline with the b pillar I think
Happend regardless if you were accelerating or off the power , sounds loud so pulled over and had a look but couldn't see anything (car was hot I might add)
So then had to go onto the dualer , up to about 70mph and habnt heard it since , well untill I did about 40mph I. Thought I heard it click about 3 times really fast but not sure
It was defo rotational related at the same point every time (got a mate to wall along side the car and every time the valve cap was at 7 o'clock the tick made it's noise
I'm thinking it was just a bit of crap or something stuck between the shields and shaft but thought I'd ask if there is any known issues
Now second one is the steering is now creaking/squeaking when turning , sounds almost rubber like and is coming from drivers side, I think it could be where it go's through the bulkhead as I can't hear it from outside
Again just wondering if there's any known issues
Thanks again
