    Hello,

    I've got a cool peugeot 205 GT 1.4 from '91. Last week I replaced the
    driving shafts left and right beacause I could hear a strange 'hammer'
    sound when I turned the steering wheel.
    Now that problem is solved, and I was very happy about that. Only
    immediately an other problem occured. When I'm turning left now, the
    car starts to 'rumble', to vibrate. And it's quite heavy. But it's
    only something I feel, not what I hear (like the drivingshafts). It
    occures at all speeds. People told me likely it's a balance
    problem...(but I thought that was only at certain speeds) or the
    steering cabin..but I never had this problem, I only replace the
    driving-shafts, so the steering cabin is unlikely to me....

    But does anyone have any idea what can cause this strange
    rumble-thing??

    does this model have the "hockey stick " bolts holding the os drive shaft
    bearing in place or is my memory shot(which is very likely)

    I seem to remember the CV joint on my steering column did this a while
    back.
    Another thing it could be is a lose anti-roll bar which is a problem I
    have a the moment; as the car shifts the roll bar tries to move and
    can cause a rumble effect as it rubs on it’s joint with the lower
    suspension arm (or so I’ve been told).
