Lars L Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 It's not always so easy to check the UJs. I had a vibration in mine and found a small play in the foremost UJ in the rear prop. Changed it, no difference. The rear one had no play that I could detect, but one of the needle bearings was completely dry. When taking it apart, most of the needles in it simply had disappeared. New UJ at that end too sorted the vibrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
