Strange noise under car
hi, I been experiencing a weird noise underneath my car in direction of the center console. It can be heard when car is in on drive shift and at idle and a little when beggining acceleration. It is very noticeable when inside the car. When shifting to Reverse or Neutral the noise is significantly reduced and can barely be heard if you really pay attention to it. It just started doing it two weeks ago. At first I thought it could be a loose component from inside the center console. Any ideas what can be the cause? Does that sounds as driveshaft vibration?
heres is a link to video with sound. https://youtu.be/qv69IOXHU74 |
Is this the center carrier bearing or driveshaft bearing that I have read about here a few times? Worth a search.

If the car only makes the sound while it is moving forwards or backwards, then it is most likely the front CV joint in the driveshaft or the bearing in the center.
It's a shame you have to remove the exhaust system and the heat shields to access the driveshaft. |

I have attached the procedure for adjusting the driveshaft from the service manual. The tightening torque is 25 Nm. I reinstalled mine without any locktite, but, if you feel that you need it, go ahead and use it.
