[QUOTE="effierizal, post: 454120, member: 3374"] Hi zeedo, We are sharing the same problem here. My UDM previously got this 'clunking' sound from beneath and humming sound above 80 km/h. The car also vibrates when accelerating from 60 - 80. Upon checking, the drive shaft rear coupling got stuck at a certain angle thus contributing to the vibrations. My so-called 'specialist' mechanic recommended to change the coupling together with re-balancing the shaft plus changing a used unit rear differential. Total damage was RM 1750 and I still have this humming / vibrations above 80 and it goes really bad beyond that! :motz: What I'm trying to say here is try to get as many opinion possible before embarking on the shaft replacement / repairs and not to be 'conned' by our own 'honest & faithful so-called specialist'. :listen: I'm still searching for solution to my problem and should I found one, I would glad to share it with the rest here. :top: cheers [/QUOTE]
