Squeaky driveshaft

[anthsaxo]

had me car jacked up , took the wheel off and i'm getting a squeak coming from either round beside the cv boot or the driveshaft where the knuckle is, when I pull the driveshaft towards me and turn the discs backwards and forwards the squeak goes off, is this the driveshaft? or could it be the cv boot dry? it sound like rubber squeaking if thats any help

take the CV boot off and check that it isnt dry, could also be a worn CV Joint.

regards to the driveshaft i'm getting quite a loud rumbling coming from the front of the car and when i accelerate it goes off , now I have took it along the motorway ,took it out of gear switched off the engine and let it freewheel the noise is still there could this be my driveshaft making this noise? can anyone help me as it's booked in tomorrow to get the driveshaft done

if it vibrates through your steering it is probably your driveshaft if it doesnt vibrate it could be a wheel bearing

[anthsaxo]

It doesn't vibrate through my steering wheel mate you can only hear it

[anthsaxo]

this might sound daft but it sounds like uuuuuuu and quite loud if you get what i mean

[craig-d]

sounds like a wheel bearing
