Icon6 problem that nearly kille me.....

.....sort of.

went for a drive today and was doing about 80mph down the bypass and as i switched lanes there was like i little vibration through the steering wheel, and a slight buzzing noise. around ten mins later the whole car started shaking/vibrating and the steering wheel was really bad, also i had to fight it because it was pulling to the right. when i let off the gas it went even worse. its hard to describe how bad it was. I pulled over when i could, shook the wheels and there was no play, had no jack so popped bonnet and checked drive shafts what i could and just tried to squeeze under the car to see if i could feel anything. as i drove off it was fine...... but on the way back home it happened again. when traveling slow it sortof pulses, like turns right right, straightens up, right, straightens up. lately i have been hearing a noise from engine bay when driving, thought gearbox was knackered.

I dont know if im in the right section, appologies if not. but i would apreciate the help

cheers

Yes, your CV joint going will definitely cause the problem you've described.

Good call on replacing the whole joint. Just replacing the boot itself is a waste of time.
