The CV joint is hard and difficult to flex. It seemed stuck at certain angle. My mechanic had a look at the drive shaft and said the CSB and the drive shaft in general looked okay (I am not sure if his method of checking the CSB was correct. He just spun the shaft and said it was okay). I did not see the universal joint though. I think that remained on the car. What I saw was a 3 point joint (I think this is fixed to the universal joint). He applied grease into the CV joint and fitted the drive shaft back. Everything was okay when I left his workshop. But I stopped at the gas station on my way back home. And when I started the car and engaged the gear, the thud was there. And as I drove off, the thud occured everytime the gear changed. The only difference this time is the thud is a lot softer and it took a shorter time to subside. Previously the thud would last for a much longer time. Do you think changing the CV joint would fix it for good? I was told it is quite expensive. Or do you think I should also change the CSB and universal joint. Appreciate your advice.</blockquote>
