HELP, LOUD KNOCKING NOISE FROM REAR
hi, i was just driving bak home from work today and i started to notice a knocking noise from the back wheels. it sounds like a drive shaft knocking but i've never heard one before. i jacked up the car before and noticed that on the passenger side rear driveshaft there is a rubber bit thats come loose. this is the one connecting to the diff i think. do you think this will be an easy fix or do i need a new driveshaft. someone told me that maybe i can get a new rubber and fit it back on. can anyone help. cheers

i just drove my car to park it outside my house. only in 1st gear as it was at the end of my street. i didnt seem to hear any knocking noise coming from the rear driveshafts but i was only drivin at about 10mph. but under the car i can see a rubber joint connected to the rear diff thats come loose. i think it is off the joint. does anyone know if it could be the driveshaft or just a simple fix. cheers

the rubber bit ur on about sounds like the cv boot, which is an easy fix. is there black grease all around the area where the cv has spewed its grease everywhere?
