Check the castle nut is tight on the end of drive shaft After removing split pin 😜

It can't move if the split pin is in place
That's if it was tightened before the pin was put in

Did that the other day, and it is still making the noise/vibration. However, will try again tomorrow.

Check that it is the drive shaft before buying a replacement

How do i go about doing that? Shall i push the shaft in, and see if it has some movement in it or something?

Picking some new shafts up from Paul CP later today, with the hope to get atleast the passenger side fitted before Friday. Il order a pair of driveshaft seals also, incase I need to do them. Is there a specific grease or lube i should use when doing these?
