What would be the symptoms of a tired one..?

Hard/expensive to change?

knocking on acceleration,i changed mine 3 times this year already due to an unbalanced prop,i believe its easy for standard cars but mine was a nightmare needing the removal of driveshafts and diff.

,Ã‚£18 for the part

Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a loud clunking noise if I go round left handers with a bit of pace would it be the diff or centre bearing? I have replaced both before but not had this problem before tho

could be the centre bearing,does the noise come from under the car around about the seats area? mine made a loud knocking but that only because it had totally snapped and was hitting off the transmission tunnel,vibration could be that its on its way out.

yeah near the back rest kind of area. I've had centre prop bearing problems before and it sounded like a jackhammer on the tunnel and diff went aswell but wasnt so bad the diff made more random noises to be honest like when you took off. I also experience vibrations at about 80mph, I am guessing but this would similarly point to the prop bearing wouldnt it? not huge but you can see the dash wobbling
