Nissan 2009 Qashqai drive shaft failure causing steering wheel wobble

Changing the driver side (right hand side UK right hand drive proper side!) drive shaft.
Sorry people not one of my best videos it was quite difficult to film in the pit, the wheel wobble was quite bad at about 40 MPH.

Nice job, was it hard inserting the axel with the engine mount on it? I’m finding it doesn’t want to go in, did you use a mallet on the end?

Hello Benedict... Sorry Only just spotted your question we used a rotary emery wheel that goes in an electric drill to clean up the inside of the bearing block.... as the block is alloy you need a gentle touch don't get taking too much metal away.... the other way is to heat it up with a blow lamp the alloy expands and you can press it together in a vice wear gloves don't burn yer paws! we the alloy starts to smoke slightly that's hot enough......Cheers....Trevor

Did you have, or could it be causing, a tic-tic-tic noise when cold and under load (accelerating, uphill etc) ? Both my boots were ripped and I have the typical knocking when turning and accelerating, but I also have cold start ticking that I cannot seem to find the source for. I cannot hear any noise stationary, so I'm figuring if it could be related to the drive shafts.... (I will be replacing the drive shafts on both sides in a near future)

Did this fix the woble problems for you ? also have a qasqai with this issue and replaced both drive axle and it dint fix the problem if i checked the baljoints and strutbearing seam to be oke

Hello Leon ...... yes it did sort it..... but lots of things can cause the problem...such as buckled wheels, bulged/out of shape tyres...track rod ends the wishbones/and their joints are prone to wear on these cars...... cheers...Trevor
