Other knocking/tapping noise from driveshafts

hi im new here and cant find anything on this topic, maybe not find anthing, but none that the cause has been this and not the suspension.
i have had a tapping noise from underneath the front of my civic for the last couple of months and have taken it to honda a number of times only to get a oh we cant find anything wrong! i got sick of this and being a tech i made a spare bit of precious time to do hondas job for them, serviced my car and had a look around.

found the problem in ten minutes and just wanted to let you lot know that i found the cause to be horizontal play in the joints of both my driveshafts causing this noise, needless to say i had a rant at the local honda dealer and it is booked in wednesday to hopefully correct the problem, have insisted on replacement parts but will have to wait and see what there verdict is!

it most prob is the joints...
they changed the bolts on mine and re aligned it back into place because i had the same clicking/knocking sound.

problem seems to have been solved... mind you only been a week.

Hope it gets sorted...
