Drive shafts

Recommended Posts

Good Morning Folks.

I'm getting a clicking noise occasionally about 3 secs after I pull away on my auto CRV. My garage can't replicate the issue but say there is some play in one of the front drive shafts. They are saying that none of the motor factors they use carry them and it would have to be direct from Honda £725.00. They did find somewhere that recon them but they are dubious that they can get the parts to recon it if they send it to them. 

As the click is only minor at the moment and they cannot confirm that it is that I'm going to wait till it gets worse to confirm it is that and not a wheel bearing maybe. 

My baby has just hit the 129000 mark so guess some bearings may be due to start wearing, but am surprised the driveshafts.

Anyone else had to change driveshafts or do you know if they can recon them.

 

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy

Sorry to hear the CR-V is playing up after all this time of being very reliable.

I would not imagine it to be a CV joint (which should also be replaceable as a separate unit and not the whole shaft)

It may be something internal in the transmission and may benefit from a fluid and filter change

Thanks for getting back to me Trevor, I hope you and yours are well. The CRV is serviced twice a year due to the miles I do, one major and one minor so believe fluid and filter should have been changed but will check with the garage. It hasn't got any worse since the last post and doesn't do it all the time just occasionally. Mind you I am due the rear box oil change, I wonder if it could be that travelling up the line.
