Default Propshaft play-need new rubber or bearing?
As above,after closer inspection today,the prop on my 3dr cossie has extensive play and the rubber appears to be split.Will I require a new rubber only,the bearing or a complete repair kit please?
Anyone know where I can get the parts from please?
I hope you can help.

Many thanks.Lee.

I got new bearing and rubber on eBay think it was Alex cabrio or something. Easy to change but when I took it all apart their was nothing wrong with the originals.
Think was about 30 quid but a while ago

Johnjn,you cannot get them from Ford,apparently they were only sold as a complete item with the prop.Somebody above mentioned a guy on e bay was selling them,I'm gonna take a look tomorrow.

Thanks.Lee.
