Thought I had vibrations at about 100 kmh ...and they were not of the "Good" variety.

"dashed" if I know what caused it ...have not been in "harm's way" or anybody's way that I know of...

Seems the rear shaft only comes as a whole unit...

I've never had, or seen, this happen before ...

That could have got ugly if it let loose whilst driving!
