Bit more info might be helpful. Front or rear of the vehicle? Is it in the engine, or in an axle, etc.? Constant or intermittent? Are you sure it is a bearing, not just shock rubbers gone or one of the usual suspects. Have you checked and greased propshafts?

From the front drivers side, ive checked underneath rubeers and prop joints i cant see anything that would show lots of wear.

Have you tried just bouncing it up and down, and givin the shocks and bushes a wiggle with a small crowbar? And lying under the front while someone else wobbles the steering with the brake on?

As far as I know, that has what I would call a driveshaft UJ, as opposed to a CV joint. I have never owned that model, quite happy if others know better?

I think that would be a very low mileage for that to fail, as well.
