Weird Knocking (Possible driveshaft/propshaft?


Sparky

Recommended Posts

Hi all. Im very new to this Forum. Bought my first Black N/a Supra last week and i have to say its been brilliant. Absolutely the most enjoyable car ive ever had and the petrol consumption isnt even that bad. Coming from my other ates who have them!

 

Basically i have a small annoying problem which needs to be sorted before the 3 month warranty runs out. (I bought it 200 miles away from where i live so i have to diagnose it myself and claim the labour/parts back lol.

 

When i pull away in first gear or reverse i get a small knock/grinding noise. At first i thought it might be exhaust but i had someone look underneath and they think they can see the propshaft wobbling. Im not 100% technical but i was wondering if anyone had any ideas so i could speed up the investigaton!

 

Thanx

I get a knock when I first drive off or put it in reverse but I found out mine was the brake pads moving slightly in the caliper. It only happens once when you change diresction (reverse or forward) and then the pad sits in the right place. Anyway you may find yours is that simple aswell.
