My A32 driveshaft spoil very easily.. Please help...

[Ceffy_999]

Dear Feilo owners,

My Ceffy using Eibach Pro-Kit spring & with standard Kayaba gas absorber. I have been changing driveshaft for 2 to 3 times.

Anyone here using the Eibach Pro Kit spring & facing the same problem?

My foreman told me that Nissan Cefiro once lowered, driveshaft not reliable & normally need to change once every half year & once every year (if lucky).

Is this a normal problem for Nissan Cefiro A32?

Bro, How much does it cost to repair or change a new drive shaft? any workshop which u recommend?

 

[Yu911]

As I know the Japan driveshaft cost about RM250/pc & ori Nissan is above RM900/pc.
If you lower your car very much than will spoil easily but if not much than it's ok. I think yours is b'coz the quality is not so good so spoil loh!

Bro Ceffy_999,

Let's work it out this way, to make it easier to troubleshoot:
1, How is your drive shaft being faulty? is the the shaft itself or you meant the ball joint at the end where it connects to the wheel gives knocking sound?
2, Lowering springs may not be a cause for any drive shaft related fault as we have brothers running coilovers which runs much lower than the Prokit ride height.

01) if you use large rims
02) if you like to turn the steering to the max till KONG sound
03) I find the used one are more reliable than the brand new one, maybe the brand new one are not original
04) If ur tires always low in air (below recommend psi)
05) if you like to take hard corner


the above mention are some of the cause of faulty CV, it sometime not because one , but combination of few to cause the cv to be short lifespan.

might check yo engine mounting as well. if da engine did not sit in a proper position it might cause da driveshaft to make noise
