Thanks Andrew,

Just replaced CV joints, clutch plate and new reco engine - going well - however when braking from 80-100kph, I get a vibration / shudder noise? Any idea here?

Cheers Mike

This addition to the commentary on YG Cruze AWD is gold. I have been back twice to get my front drive shaft replaced under warranty, but the noise is back again.

Recently, I visited the CV Centre in Toowoomba which specialises in CVs joint replacements and does nothing else. The will fit a new CV joint / drive shaft to a YG Cruze AWD, but won't guarantee them. So what's the problem? If you go under the car and look at the drive shafts, notice the angle which they enter the automatic transmission. It's at such an acute angle it puts too much pressure on the CV joint. They need to be far more horizontal to the ground. The solution is to replace the exist front springs with a set of King Springs which are 30mm shorter so the angle of entry to the transmission is less acute. This will lower the car and make the ride a little harder, but it should stop the clicking in your CV joint as you accelerate.

Cheers SB.
