My driveshaft has developed a rattle at certain rev ranges, including idle. A loud harsh metallic sound. Ting ting ting...
Guibos are all good. Engine and gearbox mounts are new, but there is only 5mm between the aft engine mount and the driveshaft. Normal? I have a witness mark in the driveshaft (not fresh).
Lying under the car with the engine running I can pinpoint the noise to the front half of the driveshaft or centre bearing. I can move the centre bearing up and down about 10mm.
I don't want to have to pull thing thing out AGAIN, any guess whether it could be out of balance? Maybe time to start playing with hose clamps and weights?
