Default how much is too much..??

following on from the judder post,

I had a scout under the car today..the prop has a good 8-10mm of play at the housing/bearing. I'm guessing this is not normal..??

How easy are the prop bearings to change..??

Best place to get em..Burtons..??

cheers..

That poor scout...he only offered to cut your grass or wash your car and you had him checking out your prop?

Mines got about that much play in it, ive bought a new rubber bush and a new bearing off ebay but not had chance to fit it yet tbh.
