I've just rebuilt my front propshaft, including center bearing in hookes joint, now I'm getting vibration above 50 and shaking above 69.99999(!).

I am due to rebuild the rear shaft (and replace the 'weak link' rubber joint) next.

Does anyone know where I can get the shafts balanced in Hampshire or south coast? I am in Gosport.

Thanks

Tom V

I've used heavy duty uj's which have grease nipples (hookes end) the original didn't, could two grease nipples cause an imbalance?

And no, I haven't done it wrong, I was meticulous! ;-)

Hi James, not sure which bit you've not heard of, but on DII/front prop there is a double UJ joint and the OE U/j's have no grease nipples - barmy I know!

Sorry, one nipple in each uj. As it is on the others. It's just that they didn't have them before in the hookes.
