HI guys. Still chasing a very slight vibration and rumbling noise from under vehicle . It occurs at 55 to 60mph and loudest on inclines. If I dip the clutch its gone. Put transfer box in neutral its gone.
Fitted new tyres recently , and new front prop (slight play)and a rear rubber universal joint old had elongated holes ! and still the same noise. . How does one check if a rear prop shaft has been separated and joined again correctly, are there any alignment marks ? Is it likely a diff bearing or front transfer box output shaft bearing ? Any pointers appreciated thanks.
 
Progress.... I removed front prop and rumble is gone ! The front prop is new, so i suspect either front diff or transfer box output bearing, which has a tiny bit of movement up/down , read on threads this is acceptable ? Any advice welcomed . Thanks.
