Hi all, went off roading on Sunday with a cracked propshaft coupler ( doughnut) but had a new genuine replacement in boot So just went for it. The doughnut held up remarkably well so I thought as I returned to tarmac. But vibration at first getting rid of excess mud from places. Then loud thunk from what I can only assume was the remainder of doughnut letting go. Anyway havin replacement several of these over the years I reluctantly nursed it on as light was dying but vibes got too much so pulled in to services and took rear prop off and put in diff lock and drove the rest of the way in front wheel drive. Once confident there was no funny noises I drove the 30+ motorway miles at 70 back home.
Replaced the doughnut with the new one. Now getting vibes at 70mph but more importantly when I dip clutch coasting in traffic or coming up to light. I get a strange back lash noise and shudder through the disco, which seems to be worse. It is fine taking up drive with no noise or clunk and pulls very well, slight wine at speed.
Any ideas, Have a rear trailing arm Bush to replace which is gubbed but wouldn't of thought and it would give this shudder and noise on coasting through the transmission.
