this may have been stupid,but my brothers 1.8 freelander s reg 1998 2 door model had a worn inner cv joint ,i had a 2001 2 door td4 that i was breaking,so he took drive shaft from that and it fitted,i have just put the prop shaft back on with new bearings,and there is a bad vibration now from front side where the drive shaft was changed,it only does it under power,its bad!!! so thinking it was drive shaft i had a look,the cv joint looks totaly different to the original as in its bigger,do you think this would cause an imbalance and vibration????
cheers gus

They are different driveshafts between TD4 and petrols.
 
yeh,it looks different,but it was same length and fitted into hub and gearbox ok,but it looks a bit heavier duty,so may be causing the vibration,think i will just get the right one and see if that cures it
