Default Unwanted Vibration... Help!

I recently took my 1999 Disco II in to have the O2 sensors replaced. When I got it back I noticed a slight vibration. It seems to occur when between 1750 and 2250 RPM, but only occurs when accelerating. When coasting or below or above this range it does not vibrate. I can feel the vibration in the steering wheel and can hear a clicking from time to time that seems to be coming from the right hand side just below the passenger floorboard.

I'm sure it is just a coincidence that it happened right after the O2 sensors were replaced, but wanted to include the info just in case.

1999 DII 102K.

Thanks....

Any check engine light?
Have you replaced you 2 front u-joints in the double cardon, they may be failing.

No, check engine light is no illuminated. I have not replace the u-joints. What are the tell tale signs that they are going out and how much should I expect to pay to have them replaced?

There usuallyare no good signs except when you're driving down the road and bang, you need a new transmissionplus a newdriveshaft. I think it's about $200 for a transmission shop to replace them.

A brand new Land Rover front drive shaft will run you between $400-500. And Land Rover drive shafts don't come with greasable u-joints... you definitely want them greasable (for longevity).

I bought a rebuilt one from an online Rover Parts Dealer for about $150 and had it installed for about $100.
