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

Question 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...

Wink Re: Bangs, rattles and squeaks...

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
