Bad Vibrations

Have you put castor correction arms/bushes in? If so then a Double Cardon Prop may be needed.
First try replacing the UJ...easy & cheap :D

Have not poly bushed the front and its still on standard radius arms, I dont think double cardan joints have a grease nipple thus may wear out quickly with all the S&C that goes on it, I was going for wide angle props, I have a few quotes now. I have just spoken to The Propshaft Clinic in Bradford, and they will make the slide length of the prop to what I need.
Do I need any special tools to change the UJ?
L90OOK:
Just tools to remove the prop & a pair of circlip pliers...doesn't take long :D

It has a 2" OME lift on it.

I had a similar problem... but i found i could accelerate through the vibration and it stopped... turned out i had lumps of dried mud/clay on the insides of my rims that caused it. The vibration was horrendous, really shook the whole vehicle badly.
