Is this the result of a rocklobster or just fair wear and tear I wonder?

I'm yet to fit my rocklobster you see and wonder if I'll suffer the same.

I wouldn't worry, just fit new UJ's or if you don;t fancy the job yourself take it to a propshaft specialist and have them do it for you. try to get UJ's with a grease nipple in though if you can rather than the sealed for life ones, they may last a little longer then.

Oh and if you split the prop mark it first or you'll get it out of balance.

I've got to get the right flanges taken off one prop and put on the one I intend to use (an SJ413 front prop) and hve new UJ's put on and the whole thing balanced at the same time.

Spoke to Rob storr yesterday, I am going to send him the bits and he will put together another one using my collars so i will know it will fit.
The rocklobster appears to have been on the jimny for quite a while as I spoke to another prevoius owner and it was already fitted when he had it.
Must me be - must be a s**t driver! :whistle:
