I recently purchased a Freelander 2.5 v6. I love the feel of the car but it has an annoying vibration- I think from the prop shaft area. I only get this when I accelerate and it does not matter what gear it is in. Any ideas whats wrong?

frt axle shafts are loose on the inner cv joint.

if you think its the propshaft, take it out of the vehicle and drive around.

 

I had a new front prop shaft fitted recently as i was told this was the problem but it did not fix it. It improved a little bit. I have not replaced the rear propshaft or the propshaft bearings as I was unsure if this would fix it. I would have to import them from the UK to Australia as they are so expensive here. I had the rear propshaft removed but there was still vibration. You mention the front axle shafts could be loose - any way a novice can test this?
If replacing the rear prop and bearings would fix it for sure then I would probably go for it. What do you think?
