| Description of the problem | My 2002 dodge pickup developed a buzzing/rattle while driving. I first thought it to be an exhaust system failure. It turned out to the drive shaft. My truck only has 75,000 miles on it,and has never been in an accident. The dealer techs say the inner shaft failed. I still have the old part. |
