Driveshafts arnt that expensive, less than £100 each i'd of thought. I need both of mine replacing.

lift your bonnet and get someone to turn the wheel whilst u look at the top supension strut. mine does the same and its the bolt in the middle. i tighten it then its fine but it then works itself loose agen.
its worth a look before u do the driveshafts matey
