Yep Worn UJ I bet :wink:

Is there any movement or graunchy bits when turning the UJ's by hand?

Grab hold of the ends and give it some wrist action. If it doesn't feel smooth it'll need rebuilding or exchanging.

That wasn't meant to sound crude. :oops:

Jed: the uj's on prop Phil said they were good. And I've had a feel and they are good.

Ray: Luton is about 30mins from me so close.

Depends where they fell off! If there then they look like little tabs welded on,butifthey are missing then the only clue might be a rusty patch with evidence of spot welds in the middle....U/js can appear ok with a wobble test but may have play in or be installed out of true, best option is the take it to a prop specialist and get it checked and balanced....mine was £70 with 2 uj s , smooth as and one of the cheaper things on the van I did!


Driveline morecambe, recommended :ok

No, welded to the big tube. One each end on mine but if the prop was in perfect balance there would be none....
