97 Disco I
120000 miles
Truck has run great since I replaced the fuel pump last year. Kind of expected something new to pop up and it now has.
Noticing vibration under load. Stops when I put it in nuetral while driving along.
U-joints and front axle look fine.
Flex joint on rear axle (the big rubber joint at the end of the rear axle) looks kind of frayed and like it is starting to tear.
Found the replacement part for about $100.
Questions: Do you think this is the problem?
How hard of a job is it to replace. It looks simple but once you get started I don't know what to expect.
Will the rubber joint fail totally while driving causing more problems. Meaning should I replace it asap or can I drive it locally while waiting for the part.
Thanks for your input/suggestions.
