    Rear prop play

    Thanks for the replies. It's a 1994 300tdi with a r380 box. I checked the ujs and they are ok.. I did put a bar in to check movement .. did all seem ok. If I'm gentle on the gear change there's no knock..

    Rear prop play

    I've had a bit of a search here but can't find the answer. I've got a knock when changing gear from the back. Jacked the rear up and found there is play in the splines let the landy down and it dissapears.. no slack.. could this be the knocking or should I go for the half shafts ?

    discovery 300tdi axle on defender 300tdi

    ive checked both sides now and the drivers side is ok, the passenger side swivel is ok, i will refill this though.
