Default 4x4 saph cos noise

i have a noise on my 4x4 saph cos

its gotta be either back axle or prop UJ's but i cannot find the time to take the prop off to check it - even ifi did i have no idea where to get the spiders changed and the prop balanced - i have changed UJ spiders before, but i would rather a professional did it as its a bit mroe critical than the old motors i have changed them on! Dont want it to fail lol!

happens at about 95mph+ - get to 110mph and its fookin noisey!

spunds like its more towards the rear of the car

soz if i have posted a similar post before - i cant remember!

whats your opinions chaps?

much appreciated in advance

Timbo

I took mine to a place locally in Nottingham - needed a centre bearing and a bit of work balancing the rear half of the prop (the front and back bits of the rear half of the prop are joined by rubber) - cost me £85 all in.

Look in Yellow pages
