WHITTALL Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I have installed a new off side drive shaft on my Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI 06 plate and now there is a clunk when I shift in low gears or pull off sharply and when it his pot holes at low speed. Any ideas what I have done wrong or something else bust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeMk1 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Did you have the bottom balljoint out? Make sure its back in properly with the correct pinch bolt fitted or it will be flopping around. Sounds like its balljoint or bush related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHITTALL Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi thanks I did have ball joint disconnected but also put new bushes in on both sides I'll check the ball joint but what should I check with the bushes could I have done them wrong some how?

STEADS Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would double check everything is tight and the drive shaft is home properly within the hub could be floating . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHITTALL Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Got under it and tightened everything with extra leverage and now it's sorted so thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
