May i ask where you got that done and an approximate cost??

Thanks

I removed the rear prop shaft, the universal joint is shagged. My options are to replace the bearings, have to take it apart to see what the surfaces are like, or buy a new rear prop shaft. Thing is, all I see are second hand ones. At least the vibration has gone.
I wonder if the buggered uni joint made the donut coupling worse.

FWIW: Disco 1 rear shafts are the same if you choose S/H option.

I got a spare S/H one that I couldn't get off coz some previous gorilla rounded the nuts at the TC end. So, I tried to grind them half down, but instead ground my finger off instead .. so had to give up at the time.
Prop is still connected but half ground off too... and now hard to get under the car and get it off.

I'll take it apart and see what the surfaces are like. A GKN bearing is $69 another heavy duty is $29. I'll get the GKN if needed.

I've got a good prop shaft coming out soon. I won't be needing it anymore. Yours if you want it.
