After noticing the odd chirping from the front end, and eventually some shudder through the steering the wheel, my 2000 Disco 2 was talking to me....fix my driveshaft. From looking underneath, the most forward facing u-joint showed shiny in the grove area.
So after putting some WD-40 and letting it sit overnight, the bolts came off the shaft nicely. If the shaft is off, you might as well do a thorough job...new front and back u-joints with that middle ball and all greased up. The parts cost about $200 CDN or so and a couple hours of labour. Not bad.
Much better driving now, with no vibrations. I would hate to think of a cost of a damaged tranny and poked exhaust if the shaft came loose.
Next project is to drain the transfer case and redo the seal around the multi-bolt plate.
