    That retention clip that was removed was a little unclear to me. I imagine it is a typical circle design to be spread with proper clip pliers, but didn't see how you reinstalled it. It's probably obvious but wouldn't want to damage anything by doing it wrong....

    I just got the cover off and the two shafts just came apart, my 2005 LR3 HSE has a different design where the ball bearings are the locater for the two shafts, there is no splined shaft, well there is a very short one that holds bearings cage in place, the spring clip to hold that in place is impossible to remove, for me anyway, just a warning, since they are no longer aligned I guess I'll be getting a new shaft, there is no snap ring holding it together, the big bearings interlock in a cage and locate into cups on the long end, just thought I'd add that, in case anyone comes across it

      Would love to no the reply to this. 270 odd quid for a new prop shaft with bearing bolts everything. And can be done in 1 hour max. Or the labour cost plus 40/50 quid for just a centre bearing? Hmmm doesn’t seam worth doing just the bearing. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Would the vibrations I sometimes fell at different speeds be the prop shaft? It feels like i got a flat tire, the car starts bouncing and gets worse if I keep driving. If I stop , turn the car off , start again the bouncing stops and goes away. It doesn't fell like a vibration, is more like bouncing, a loose wheel or a flat. I' ve done an alignment but the problem still there. Any ideas. 2006 LR3 , 125k miles , 1.5 lift and 31.5 inches mud tires. Thank you.

      I'm sure you've resolved this or moved on by now, but I had a similar vibration that quickly turned into a wheel hop as well. In my case it was accompanied by a burning smell from the rear of the truck. Turns out it was the parking brake mechanism on one of the wheels, and it sounds like that's somewhat common. In some cases the pad will destruct or delaminate and then grab the drum, causing this. In my case it had just been adjusted too tight and would grab in certain situations. Easy to confirm by feeling the hub on both rear wheels--if one of them is hotter that the other wheels, that's the one.
