well I just went through the exercise of fitting new hardy spicer ujs to front prop.

back in vehicle with new bolts and I noticed I get a knock when pushing prop up and down, feels like it's bending in middle as if the splines in the sliding part are worn.
is it new prop time or are the sliding joints serviceable?

I've a horrible feeling I know the answer already!

well I ordered one from paddocks

stripped mine today and it looks like new inside though, put in vice and it rocks slightly by a mm.

cancelled my order-I only do 200miles a year so it should
last��
