Ok lads looking for some help here as i have googled this to death and also asked on other forums but getting nowhere my front prop shaft going into the diff is really badly grinding and no reverse drive, is this a easy fix with new prop. the vehicle is a 2006 sport auto with 74k on the clock i have already done new air compressor two front wheel bearings new disks all round, new rear brake caliper 4 new tyres and its starting to get me down it does not lead a hard life as i work offshore so i only drive it two weeks a month

thought it was the driver side drive shaft but when i jacked it up and turned the wheel by hand the noise was coming from underneath so after going under for a look the prop bit that goes into diff is mangled |

It sounds like it needs a new prop regardless, but just give it a look over to see if ere are any indications of why it failed... |

Thanks for fixing the problem so quick Mike, think I will have to stay offshore to avoid the wife after she had to raid her piggy bank lol, I cant understand why such a nice vehicle with a long 4x4 history can do this to a diff when it only has 74 K on the clock glad I was not in the Sahara |
