RE: Front End noise/vibration at 50 - 60 mph
Easiest thing to do is take the whole driveshaft assembly to a driveline shop. They can do the work for you including parts for probably less than 200 bucks.

RE: Front End noise/vibration at 50 - 60 mph
Paging Disco Mike, Paging Disco Mike
Mike,
I had the Front Drive Shaft replaced under warranty, but that did resolve my issue[:@].
I am still getting the Front End noise/vibration at 50 - 60 mph[:@]. Although not as bad as before, it is still there. Actually it's kind of wierd because it comes in right at 50 mph and then goes away around 65-70 mph. Since this thread began I have purchased a new set of tires, a Trick or Treater, Tricked me[:@]. So the issue has been there through two different sets of front tires.
Any suggestions[
]?
Oh, also when should I replce my shocks?

Mike,
I checked and I plan on replacing it shortly, but I don't understand how that could cause vibration up front? Can you please explain? or am I missing something?

I certainly can't explain why you feel it in the front, but I felt a vibration around the same speed on my Disco. When I went under the truck to investigate I saw the the flex coupler was barely holding together (4 or 5 large cracks!). After the replacement, there were no vibrations at all. It is a very easy repair, and I think the total cost was $100 from British Atlantic.
Becarefull, if your disco is anything like mine, the previous owner did not maintain it at all! Check everything!

S4poor,
It is an aftermarket warranty that I purchased through CitiFinancial, they also finaced my truck. I have used the warranty before for rear door actuators, I haven't had any problems with the warranty coverage yet, its OEM level coverage.
Why do you ask?
Disco Mike,
I have roughly 55500 miles on my truck.
I placed an order for the 'Genuine LR Roto-Flex kit' less than a hundred bucs with AB, I know you guys mostly use RoverConnection but I couldn't figure out their website and it was on sale at AB.
