hi all. think i have a large problem. as i drove home from work tonight the disco started to get bad vibe when accelorating (i know can't spell). its ok at low ish speeds but when you get above 40 its rather bad. i feels like the front prop. so when home climbed underneath and i can turn the front prop about inch either way and if you puch and pull it it moves a little. is it going south and if i remove it is it diff lock on and drive as normal.

Dave:
sounds like just one of the uj's not to bad to do your self if you have a vice. Not sure how good it would be in two wheel drive i now it can be done. I thought only for a short time.

Snake110:
From the discription is sounds like one of the UJ's is collapsing/collapsed
have a closer look at the UJ's if the X piece can be moved
more than a fraction of a mm whalst either yolk is fixed statonary
then that UJ is US :wink: time for a new prop or
if youre feeling adventureus with a hammer and a vice
you can replace the uj and bearings for about a fiver an end

Dirty Gertie:
Yep, sounds like a UJ.
Re the 2w/d thing; I drove mine (def 90) on just the rear prop, albeit gently for a couple of days whilst waiting for the new one, just remememember, if you're just changing the UJ/s don't take the prop apart; if you do, mark it clearly first, so you put it back in the same posish!!
HTH

oh [!Expletive Deleted!] i was hoping to take it off and sort it end of the month when i can afford a double cardon one. anyone in cheshire got a prop i could borrow for a couple of weeks.
