Hi

I have heard a small clunk below gear lever and have put it up on the ramp, all I feel is a small amount of movement in front section of prop . Can the bushing in each end of shaft wear ? 2007 E class 116000 miles.:confused:
 
I had a propshaft joint replaced on my 04 estate a couple of months ago.
 
I believe that they have a rubber do-nut at each end, both of which can wear, also the centre bearing can loosen up over time as well. Is there a centre U/J as well? I can't remember but, if there is, basically 4 items to potentially wear out.

I'd be popping a couple of bolts off the front do-nut first, just to see if there is any noticeable damage.
 
Thanks for help ordered new rubber joint.
