driveshafts

[P R Brundell <prb@psychology.nottingham.ac.uk>]

I'm considering replacing the driveshafts and cv joints (thanks for the
previous replies!) on my 1.8 8v 1987 scala as I have strange rumbling
noises as I apply power (especially at low revs). I've been offered some
from a 1.6GL. Are these all the same or do I need to be careful about
matching from different models? The noise occurs almost always in 3rd gear
but there's no crunching round corners. If the joints or shafts are worn
out, would the noises be intermitant like mine is or would this be a really
obvious problem. Perhaps the engine mounting are loose and it's just
vibration? The front shocks were changed just before I bought it, perhaps
they're the problem?

I'm a beginner at all this, sorry if it's dull thinking aloud compared to
some of the mad techy stuff on this list. Keep it up!

cheers, Spat
