CV joint & wheel bearings

[16v_paddy]

Can a fooked CV joint cause a wheel bearing to be knackered?

I only ask as I've replaced my wheel bearing - the old 1 was definately knackered :roll: and I've got rid of the vibration when turning left but now I've got a slight clunking instead :shock:

I reckon - from advice here - that it's my CV joint that's the problem, will it be ok to drive it like that for a couple of weeks or is it going to kill another bearing?

I say a couple of weeks as I'm now proper skint & desparately need new brakes as well :roll: and I can't be doing with replacing the bearing again :cry:

I'm quite pissed off as I've only done 15,000 miles on the new OE driveshafts :evil:

your knew driveshafts will be under warranty..take it back to your supplier.

clicking noise sounds like worn cv id guess.

long story with the shafts :roll: done 5k on my m8s valver & 10k on mine so probably can't do anything with warranty :cry:

simple answer NO !! they are designed to take the play .
incorrect fitment can knacker them though .

you shud get a year or 12000 mile warranty.

They're about 5 years old :lol:

I'm just going to bite the bullet & get a new 1 :roll: at least this 1 will have a warranty I can fall back on
