Doing a few jobs on my car today.
Whilst searching for a bit of vibration under braking I ran up the rear wheels on my lift to see if there was any imbalance visible.
One of the things I found was a badly worn outer driveshaft CVJ. Not what I expected or was looking for. Once I got the shaft off I found the inner was also past it's best.
New complete shaft is winging it's way from Ultima.......bugger.
I have found a bit of run out on the other side rear disc (0.6mm) which I will be investigating over the next day or so.

On the subject of driveshafts.
Andy, at the Factory, mentioned ensuring that any used shaft is put back on the same side of the car that it came off. It is not the first time I have heard of this. The twisting stress that is put into the shaft reacts badly if the shafts are driven in the opposite direction (shears).
Very important if buying s/h units.

I wanted the car available for last night so purchased a whole shaft from the Factory (ouch). If I had more time then I would have gone for just joints. I suspect the inner joint is a bit more expensive.
