Wobbling - dave18
My '93 309 1.4 has done 78000 miles. I had the nearside driveshaft replaced recently, and the car has developed a 'wobbling.' I don't know whether this is related to the new driveshaft. I do know the offside driveshaft may need work in the near future. The car wobbles slightly under acceleration but between 40 and 50mph it shakes, quite violently at times. The pedals and gear lever wobble about. When getting towed due to the state of the nearside CV joints after a long journey, the AA patrol suggested worn engine mountings and told me not to worry.
Any ideas?
Do I worry?
Wobbling - Crinkly Dave
New shaft, or secondhand
Whole shaft or just an outer joint?

If the shake developed as a result of the shaft change, I wonder if it's bent or out-of-balance? Some shafts (eg Fiesta) use a bolt-on balance weight to prevent such problems - anything different like that comparing new and old shafts?
