Replacement Rear CV Joints

[DGeoff]

I have quite a bit of play in my rear driveshafts. I’m getting kind of a clunky/jerky movement as I go through the gears. I’m pretty confident I need to replace or at least rebuild the joints.

I’ve been to the Wallothnesch site and they have rebuild kits at about €200 per, and I need four! Does anyone in the group no an alternate source for full shaft or perhaps good used ones?

Thanks for any advice given.

I would opt for re-building. New at FCP Euro is going to be similarly priced

If you're not sure what the noise is coming from you could take one apart and look.
It should be pretty obvious.

Take car for a drive. When going down a hill place in neutral and keep clutch depressed.
If issue goes away, then it's not the CV's it's in your box/drive train. CV = constant velocity, sounds like your issue is linked to gear changes.
God, I sound like @sfdon Don

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the feedback
My issue isn't really a noise. Its more a "feeling". Kind of like there's slack on the drivetrain which takes up as you decelerate / accelerate. I was told by a local mechanic it was the CV joints.
Don't know if its related or not but, at stand still in neutral clutch out I get a soft "shick-a-shick-a-shick" noise which goes away when clutch is depressed.
Now I'm a bit diagnosis confused.
