noisy driveshaft inspected
 

i went to inspect my driveshaft today and i found that if hold the front of it tight and move the back part i can only feel like 1mm of play and a solid feel to it, but if i hold the back part and and move the front i can hear and feel like metal against metal from the big 41mm bolt and like 2mm of play

the noise is very loud, any ideas

hheeeeeeeeelllllllllOOOOOOOOOOOOO

jaja jaja jaja jaja

What is the application?
I would recommend pulling it and having it checked out, repaired and balanced. Go ahead and replace the universal joint while it is out. I see you don't live around here and am not sure if there are companies around your area that rebuild driveshafts but I have used a company in Atlanta, Ga. USA called Driveline Service of Atlanta. They did a good job and it ran around US$250.

i dont think that the universal joint has gone bad, theres no play in it
