vibration

I have a 2001 disco with 95000 miles on it. Just started to get a alot of vibration again underneath the car between 35-50 miles an hour. I had the front driveshaft replaced at approx 50000 miles. Is it possible my front driveshaft is going again???

RE: vibration

YES!! STOP DRIVING IT!!
You can have the front driveshaft rebuilt with greasable u-joints and then as long as they are greased at every oil change the driveshaft should last forever.
If you wait until the driveshaft fails it will take out your transmission too.

Who's drive shaft did you install, new factory, Tom Wood GBR's ? Did it have 3 grease fittings and how often do you grease your drive shafts?
