- 2004 VYII Acclaim Wagon
Hi all,
The VY wagon has been going ok but getting worse. This initially started off as a hesitation, or I'd say more accurately a shudder with hard accelleration. The slower the vehicle speed and the harder the accelleration the more obvious this shudder becomes. General accelleration out on the road its not obvious, hard accelleration from near stop (gunning it through a roundabout or similar - safely that is!) gives an obvious clunk/shudder.
Tonight it happened big time, I reverse out of my driveway, stick it in drive and accellerate, like I do every time I go out. This time it vibrated/shuddered badly, the traction control kicked in for about 3 seconds before it let me do anything. I didn't spin the wheels to loose traction, whatever is causing the shudder did it.
So....what is it likely to be, how can I diagnose it and how do I fix it. Is it likely the left and right driveshaft CV? Is there a way to test them (on the driveway up on ramps perhaps) and is it a DIYer job to fix it? Alternatively if its not these CV's, what else could it be?
Thanks!
