i really hope so cos i only had them replaced in july am hopin the garage made a hash of it really cant afford an ird at mo and being disabled and living in middle of nowhere my freebie is my lifeline

also dose it when engine is switched off and clutch depressed or not had a look underneath and to me it looks like the rear bearnin is not straight and if i pull the propshaft there seems to be 3-4 mm play theres also a washer that seems to just floating around doing nothing in front of the rear vcu bearing is that normal

doesnt sound too normal to me ...............
are the bolts holding the prop shaft to the VCU (inside the yolk) nice and tight ???

took it to garage and it is indeed the prop bearings is there any reason the would go so qwick

Did you fit good quality ones last time ???

Cheapo bearings not original equipment, plenty of info if you do a search which shows how often non original bearings fail.

Sorry quoted wrong post should have been the one from deejaybarn33.

After reading this post, it sounds like i could have the same problem.
only thing is there is no noise in reverse.
is this the bearings or IRD.

Probably don't go fast enough in reverse, hopefully .

Then i will replace them any way and rule it out. if the bearings are at fault, then
