Hey guys, my right rear cv sh*t itself the other day and had it replaced with a repco unit and ever since it has a creak over bumps and in and out of driveways, only hear it at slow speeds and it seems to get better when its warm. checked all the bushes, shock, spring seat and lubed them all up in case there was something just rubbing slightly but can't find anything.

Anyone had this issue before? Not sure if something is wrong with the shaft itself or install

I have taken it back twice to get looked at to no avail and the shops next option is to pull it out and put it back in because they can't seem to find what's causing it

Cheers

I had a creak on my FG over bumps as you said...for me it was fixed by greasing the swaybar d-bushes. Think old mate used some emery paper on the swaybar first. I know you said you've lubed your bushes and it's still creaking, but just thought I'd share in case.

I have different sway bar links so not that.

Spoke to a bloke who said it might have something to do with the style of CV on the repco shafts as its different and can't handle the car being so low. Anyone heard of this being an issue with repco shaft?

Apparently Ford cv is ball and cage and repco is tripod needle roller bearings. Means stuff all too me but hoping theres a resolve other than replacing the shaft with genuine ford :/
