As I can't tell if they cheap or not could prove costly replacing all 4 with genuine parts. Will look in the morning any idea where I can find a picture of a genuine part as they all look same so far on ebay

Ok so if the drive shaft is damaged what sort of movement am I looking for is it floor to body or left to right ? Cant seem to find genuine ones on ebay just aftermarket

Yes towards and away from the wheel I'l have a check in the morning to see if they are genuine or not. Are new driveshafts easy to fit or a complete pain. I am no mechanic but am prepared to try

The drive shafts move from side to side slightly but no up and down movement

There is no leakage and the prop moves forward and back and no play up and down. Im begining to think it's not an actual prop issue. Would worn rear diff mounts cause a wobble and steering vibration at speed and if so how do I tell if they are worn

Is there any definate way to tell if the gaiter is damaged or the front prop ?

Assuming it's not the damper would the issue then be with the front prop shaft ? Or would damaged gaiter boot cause any wobble and the gearstick to move ? If so how easy is it to remove the gaiter boot and replace as they are fairly cheap parts

I'll have another go in the morning. If the car runs fine with the prop removed is there any way of telling which part of the prop is faulty.

Jacked up the rear wheel and it turns with a small amount of effort so am hoping the vcu is fine. Managed to undo 3 bolts from ptop but will wait for torx sockets now as can' get to other 3 with enough force

Hi I only have it up on two ramps so it'd hard to bash with a lump hammer from underneath. The prop was off last week when the centre bearing were replaced by garage so thought it would move easily What' a quick and dirty test of the vcu?

Hi Had a look on the back of the diff Is it a hex allen key type plug that I need to remove and not a socket set type ?

I tried to remove the prop today Unable to move the nuts on the other end of the torx bolt and unfortunately I don' have any torx sockets to try it the other way. May have to order some off flea bay Are the torx easy to remove as the nut other end felt like it was on super tight as couldnt...

Where the front diff bushes located? Have found and checked the 3 rear diff bushes and they seem ok Thanks

Thanks ill give it a try this afternoon One point when the centre bearings were replaced an advisory was renew front prop as there was slight play in it. I have been under the car and wobbled the front prop and there is slight movement. Could this be enough to effect the drive and cause the...

Hello all. I am trying to locate the diff oil plug locations front and rear on my freelander td4 2003 Is it same plug to check and top up ? Thanks for all the help

Not done the vcu test yet but have checked the prop and it is solid and does not move. The diff mounts look ok and dont seem to have anybplay either The rear drive shafts have play though they don't move up and down but do move side to side. Is this normal

It hasnt been converted to FWD prop still fitted. So if the car is not under any rear load on the bushes the wobble is normal ?

The gear stick wobbles in acceleration and normal driving. The wobble/vibration seems to be from the rear It's just been serviced and nothing was mentioned about worn bushes. I haven' tried it without the drive shaft I don' think I am brave enough to try and remove it

There is a shake on initial acceleration then calms until motorway speed then is vibrates/wobbles again. It makes a whooshing sound and handles like a wheel bearing issue although they are fine.
