The sage continues, the wife finished work early today so was able
to try and find the cause of a bad judder when coming to a stop, when i was greasing the props i noticed that the front had a great deal of play could rotate it almost an inch and a half could this be the cause and if so any advice on a cure uj,s seem fine cheers Phil

its quite normal for there to be quite a bit of play in the diff and transfer box as long as there is no movement in the uni joints the back will be the same if you take the hand brake off

any ideas relating to the judder?? happens when i come to a standstill from around 5/10 miles an hour, not the brakes as it also happens going uphill to a stop using no brakes, dipping the clutch very early seems to help but not eliminate , so i thought maybe prop related

could it not be a sticking caliper or dodgy wheelbearing?

jacked it up and the front wheels spin nice and free, shudder can be felt through the body, sometimes violent and sometimes "just there"
