    I didn't waste that much time on it, but yes you are probably right. How does £100 and 4 new tyres sound so I can go and tear up a storm on my local [STRIKE]industrial estate[/STRIKE] Private road?

    If any of you find yourselves in a similar position as mine best advice is ,stay calm ,polite,firm but fair ,keep records,don't be fobbed off.
    Remember if your sold something that is not %100 right you deserve a sweetener

    The problem is that high speed vibration is not a symptom of CV joint faults until they're just about ready to let go completely.

    They cause clicking or knocking sounds when turning at low speeds (big steering movements) because there's lots of internal movement as they turn at a big angle.

    When driving straight ahead or with small steering movements (like at speed) there's very little internal movement in them (the parts stay in the same positions relative to each other) so they don't give symptoms because the're turning as virtually solid coupling.

    By the time they're loose enough to give vibration at speed you would have been complaining about the low-speed symptoms! That's a non-negotiable fact of how they're engineered.
