Yep Worn UJ I bet

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

The uj on the prop is fine.

Yes from what I've been told. And seen

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.

What the prop a rebuild?

Sounds like a suspect propshaft and not a VC

Just out of interest, who told you your Uj's were OK?

jed

had my uj's replaced at recoprop luton, near to you?

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.

Might be out of balance then, are any of the weights missing?

Where are the weights on the prop.

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!

Weights are they where the fat bit is?

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