FAQ

Can I keep driving with a clicking joint?

For a while, and not indefinitely. A constant velocity joint that comes apart takes the drive away instantly and can damage the transmission case or the wheel it is attached to. Book it, avoid tight turns under power, and stay off long trips until it is fixed.

Why did my regular shop send me somewhere else?

Because shaft work needs a press, a balancer and often a welder, and a lot of repair shops do not own those. Sending it out is a sign of judgement, not a brush off. You can deal with the specialist directly, and it is usually cheaper without the middle markup.

New shaft or a rebuilt one?

A rebuilt shaft is your own unit with new joints, fresh grease and a balance check, and on an older or unusual vehicle it may be the only option. A new aftermarket shaft is quicker. Quality varies a lot on cheap new ones, so ask what brand and what warranty covers vibration, not just breakage.
