Rubbery vibration on drive not when coasting. suspect u joint or probably
flex disk looks like it may have a small crack near where the bolt goes I
think it has about 50k miles on it. I dont know if its an easy or hard job
to replace it. Been doing it for awhile nowTia advise

My drive is paved so I do get a little vibration due to sinkage :-) however
you may mean a different kind of drive care to illuminate our darkness? e.g.
in the realms of what car you mean.

by drive I mean acceleration or to drive along.

I think the flexible drive coupling may be worn and breaking up, not a job
I've had to do but relatively straightforward provided the bolts are not
siezed. Acid test is to load the coupling and see how bad the separation is
a small split at rest can be rather worse when several 100 ft lbs are
exerted. Off the top of my head I can't think of any problems though I would
try to ensure the two sides of the yoke are replaced as they are currently
fitted mark them clearly I may be over cautious but prop shaft balance
worries me. torque setting is 78Nm for the bolts and the WSM suggests
removing the propshaft to do the job?
