Hiya, Just bought a 99 1.8XI 3dr, and when I take off hard, or floor it in first or second there is a loud clunk type noise from underneath (drive shaft area).
Any ideas? Should there be any/much play in the rubber housing the support bearing? I can lift the rear prop shaft about 5mm by hand (good push), could this be it?
Finally, is there an easy test to see if the VCU is stiff/seased? I'm getting lots of traction on rear wheel when turning tight, is this normal?
Many thanks. T
