Bangs, rattles and squeaks...
Hi lads,
Just had a new Whitleline diff bushing fitted to attempt to stop the 'shudder'. It didn't work, and now the mechanic tells me the rear universal joint is about to die, and I can hear it squeak in reverse. Also, I had the front calipers rebuilt and new rotors and pads fitted to stop the rattles in the front end. It didn't work. Can anyone help diagnose these sounds? As I am sure most SVX do this. Also, it seems I am losing second gear again. Merry Christmas indeed. Mike

Re: Bangs, rattles and squeaks...
Hello again.
I have watched some youtube videos about replacing the universal joint and balancing the drive shaft. Any ideas on what this costs? I need to have it repaired ASAP. I can feel a catastrophic SVX repair bill looming in my near future. Also, why do the 4EAT's keep self destructing? It isn't funny anymore...

Thanxxxs, Torxxx!
I was just thinking today, as I was driving my Mother's Toyota Camry, how boring reliable cars are. I like the thrill of driving an exciting, rare car that could literally break any of it's millions of parts and leave you stranded on a dark country road at any time! Life is short. SVX are fun, bastardios of cars that make things interesting! Mike
