I can post the pic of the centre ball joint---
if anyones interested,,
I have recently noticed a high pithced vibration comming through the gear stick (Manual ) on my D2. I think I will crawl under it and have a look.
Anyone know who best to fix shafts in Perth.

Mike,

Had a look doesnt seem to bad down there front greaseable was a bit dry but a couple of squirts of grease took up the slack. The rear double uni joint looks good cant feel any play and no sign of broken bits.
I have done 140,000 ks so either I am a smooth driver or perhaps its because mine is a manual. My wife and I double shuffle, just a habit we got into because its a nasty box and with turbo lag it slows down the change so its nice and smooth.
I think I will replace them before the next long trip and have warned the wife if the vibe starts up bad to pull over and call the RAC.

I had all the uni's replaced and shafts balanced this week:
Kays done - 132,000
amount of off-road use - average once a month plus I tow a 2000kg poptop.
raised suspension - 2" lift
genuine - No. Replaced 3 x unis on front shaft. The front uni and two unis in the double cardon joint. Replaced 1 x uni and replaced the pinion bush and rubber flex joint on rear shaft.
aftermarket brand - Whatever the driveline specialist uses
change of part - Yes for the double cardon joint, non-greasable unis fitted.
I had all parts replaced as the front uni on the double cardon joint developed some play and caused vibration. I don't like unexpected failures.....
Cheers
