Between a rock and a hard place!
You'll love this!
got a vibration when driving, not then dethrotling, coming from prop shaft and steering (whole car shakes a bit). when stationary the engine sounds (?) OK, but I think it's rev related. the fault has been growing the past two weeks and getting worse, so suspect big ends! Any suggestions???
 
yu dont need ramps - jusr crawl underneath it and try rotating the propshaft - yu will feel if there is any play. chock the wheels, coz its best to do it without the handbrake on. better still use a screwdriver to try and rotate the joints.
 
check the front drive flange out of the transfer box - as the bearing does fail, easily done whilst checking for any "lift" in the prop shaft uj's. It can also be changed in situ.

Big end failure wont make car vibrate just a knocking noise, as has already been said ide check your prop shaft u/j's for slack/rotational movement although a seized u/j will cause vibration but wont normaly have any slack init, you will have to remove the prop shaft to check it.
