Drive Shaft Info Needed by nurey(m): 8:16pm On Mar 05, 2016
My Nissan almera N16 2000 has drive shaft issues. When on low speeds, I get a noise which totally disappears on high speed, it isn't affecting my drivability or braking.

I did a preventive maintenance as soon as I found out, i.e the shaft was loosen and greased and the rubber paddings were replaced, the noise went but the only thing that didn't go is the knocking sound when I do a U-turn to the extreme right, which isn't visible when done on the extreme left. So I was able to narrow it down to the front passenger side drive shaft.

If I intend to fix, should I change both shaft or just the one that is bad. I am currently in the north and sourcing parts for the Nissan is rather tasking and extremely expensive.

I am around 350,000km the mechanic said the joints are still ok, I was also able to look @ it but since I ain't no guru I just nodded and had faith he is right. the shorter arm with Boris in it had some Boris disarranged partially. the lubricant in it after dis assembly were really black.

My main issue is that the shaft isn't available in Kano and the dollar issue is a cause of concern to that particular model in the north. Any small nissan part cost X3 of golf or Honda part.

Bros long taimuuuu oooo

Please I just got a Dodge Caravan 99, looking at the engine and what the Mechanic I took to remarked the engine has never been touched, the oil filter has never been changed ... I guess its a long parked Vehicle.
However I serviced and change all neccesaries but yet anytime I drive slow or I want to bend a corner the engine stop running.

You want to derail my thread abi, you deserve a ban

1. Open your own thread with the query you are having

2. Let us known the RPM of your car at idle that is if a tachometer is present and then at idle turn your steering to the extreme ends, if the car vibrates vigorously and goes off, let's know, we will take it from there.
