I have resigned myself to the fact that I will have to get my NSR Drive Shaft replaced (quite a bit of movement back and forth away from the wheel).

The question is; should one replace them in pairs as good practice or save the extra money for the next 'design feature' to go wrong...thoughts?

Hi

If the other side seems fine i would save your money, but if you feel its slightly worn or slightly to much play i would also replace.

Kind regards
 
I took the 'ole girl' on a journey into the North this weekend. Sadly on the return leg she was vibrating like a specialist Amsterdam mattress from the underside for most of time between 60-70mph.

Having pulled into the services to have a look at the rear diff/drive shafts and check for signs of worn bearings it seems that BOTH rear drive shafts have play in them - so it looks as though i'm about to endure open wallet sugery.

Does anyone happen to know if it is 'normal' for the rear diff to move like a nodding donkey when backwards and forwards pressure is applied to the wheel when jacked up?
