Soooo i think my drive shaft is shot every time it rotates it makes a clicking noise like its hitting something, but it might be a hanger didn't have time to look at it but any input on what you guys think it would be would be appreciated!

where is the clicking coming from? There are some hard lines that run above the drive shaft on my s14 than can get loose from their hanger and make the car sound like a tractor.

its coming from the middle of my door right where my shift knob is, but its weird its not there all the time it comes and goes...so that's why i don't get what it could be. If it was something hanging it would always be there right?

We just finished swapping my buddies s13 sr20 and all his stuff over into another shell and his started doing that. Its def not the driveshaft because he has a custom alum one. We havent had time to mess with it cause of winter and all the snow and stuff. I wouldnt go buying a new driveshaft till you figure it out though its prob just something simple

yea it's probably not the driveshaft itself. Mine started making noise after we swapped the subframe bushings (easiest job evar if you have a lift and a sawzall btw). More than likely something got loose under there and is periodically hitting the driveshaft.

about $500 to your door from Driveshaftshop.com brand new. They are the manufacturer, that is their website.
