Propshaft journals.
Check with wheels chocked, out of gear and handbrake off. Rear of front shaft most likely.  |

 Probably blindingly obvious to those in the know, but what am I checking for exactly? It just gets louder, not faster. |

Any freeplay in the journals or the flange fastenings.

Spot on Laurie
Easy job to tackle? It just gets louder, not faster. |

Just go underneath and try to move each end of each shaft.
A push-pull motion should be repeated at approximately 90 degrees to the first attempt. If everything seems secure there are several other possibilities. |

You need to remove the propshaft complete.
A replacement universal joint is around £30 (OEM ones come in a Britpart box!), best to replace both while it's out. If you're unsure how to do it a local garage will charge you for about an hour. Once you've got the shaft out engage the difflock and take it for a drive. If you still get the noise then that's not your problem. Don't forget to take the difflock out after you've put the repaired shaft back in. Alternatively, a new propshaft will cost about £160. |

i would GKN hardy spicer ones if you are doing UJ prop joints. bar far the best quaility for the money. Bearmach do them. Its a pretty easy job - once you have seen how to do it. have a look in the tech archive on lR4x4 there is bound to be a write up on there about it. Cheers

Britpart ones are GKN as far as I know.
I've just had my front prop done. |

all is good then.
£30 seems steep though. Cheers James 110 XS Utility 130 Puma Station wagon/camper (in the making) 90 Puma Hardtop |

For info, I bought a pair of genuine GKN HD ujs (oversize bearings) for my Puma DC rear prop a couple of weeks ago from Dingocroft for about £19 each.

I was judging the price by Ebay prices.
Haven't had the bill from my garage yet. |
