Hi all,
Taking the car for a fast test drive I've found fast cornering with power on is sometimes causing, what I think is, the prop-shaft UJ to hit something. (I can hear the noise)
Our car has an SD1 gearbox fitted, here is a picture of what I think is the offending UJ.
I remember tightening the nut on the stud squashing the rubber gromet, in the lower middle of the picture. Does anyone know what it is or was for? The Haynes manual doesn't show rubber here at all.
Am I ok to lose this rubber as I think I may have pulled the rear of the gearbox down causing the UJ to rub on the metal lower right
Question again:
What is the rubber on the lower stud for?
Thanks,
Gavin.
