If it is a rattle, will be unlikely to be bearings.
Is it 2wd ?, if yes it could be the CLUTCH ARM rattling in the gearbox as mine did, rubber boot was not on properly, and had rattled on the bell housing where the arm passes through.

it is 2wd, will check the clutch, what sort of noise would the prop make ? its a knocking/rattle that seems to be in ratio with engine speed.
Can you physically feel by grabbing the prop worn bearings?
cheers
for the reply

It is not so much th bearings that wear more the massive rubber that supports them, mine moves up/down 1/3" and is ok.
I know when my clutch arm was rattling it was embarrasing as you could hear the rattle even with the windows up and stereo on.
Other things that happened on mine were the exhaust constantly moving and banging on the body where the downpipe goes from vertical(ish) to level to rear, it used to twist, SCORPION they are well known for it so I hear, cured mine by using a BAND clamp.
