just had some meisterr zeta r coilovers fitted to my civic Jordan vti originally it was lowered on lowering springs and standard shocks.
I decide to go a bit lower so the tyre is now level with the arch but my problem is I drove 117 miles with no problems but as soon as I got a mile away from my house I started here a knocking noise like something was lose.
so I jacked the car up to make sure there was no bolts loose but found I have some play in the driveshaft. as it can be moved towards the gearbox and back towards the hub which causes a knocking noise.
I then took it to a local garage today who said because I've lowered it more the driveshaft is now to short to sit correctly and I could solve the problem by raising the car up or get a longer driveshaft. so I raised the drivers side 10mm too see if would cure it but still I can move the driveshaft.
here a link to a video of the noise and the play in the driveshaft

does anyone have any advise? before I decide to just get 2 new driveshafts fitted and hope for the best
