So I've been hearing a rattling noise in the old Celica..
And recently a sudden loss of power when the car in gear (revs like a charm while not engaged) But... when I took the car in for an oil change the mechanic noted that "A couple drive axels are busted" Not to be stupid (I know what they do.. but I need an explanation for my car's power loss): What are the purpose of these? .. and when damaged will there be any noticeable poewr loss when driving. The car still drives. Only rattles under high acceleration under 50km/h... Lemme know.. thanks Shaun |

where are the drive axles busted? if the CV joint is worn out, you should be hearing a clunking noise when going around turns. If it's busted then you would not be able to drive the car at all. how many km's on your car? is it auto or 5spd? if it's a rattle you hear, under the hood it may be a broken engine mount. as for the power loss, from the info given I have no idea what to tell you, except take it to a shop you trust. |
