[That Ruddy Squirrel]

I Had The Same Problem Thought It Was Sticking Brakes,stone In The Brake System Turns Out To Be A Broken Joint On The Front Of The Propshaft Causing The Car To Vibrate.i Think You Can Replace The One Nearest The Gearbox But If It,'s On The Propshaft Your "shafted" You Have To Buy A Replacement Shaft I Got One For £56 Recon Through Breakeryard.com Of Some Guys In Birmingham Hope This Helps.

Are you saying that if the UJs have gone on the prop shaft you have to change the shaft ?

If you have a 2nd gen someone has not been 100% honest and accurate with you - late last year I had both UJs changed on my prop shaft and it's been fine ever since.

Hi I Checked The Joints Myself And It Was Not Poss To Replace Them. You Can Change One Of Them But Not Both Plus On The Main Joint There Was A Broken Collar.

I know what he means i think Trev.One part of the uj is attatched to the prop itself and then the uj knuckle itself is then fixed into those jaws so if the jaws part has gone then you are in deep doodo.The other part of the uj is the part you change which i think is the part that normally does go
