[QUOTE="alantiong, post: 587088, member: 19754"] the prop shaft are built to last the lifetime of the car. it would be the last thing you should be changing if you have ting tong sound. take a look at your universal join for wear and tear, binding. Also the center bearing. The only way the shaft needs work will be vibration if it is out of balance and this can be fix quiet easily by some clever machine shops for RM400. never let these half pass six mechanics change the prop shaft. most of the time, it will quick fix the situation maybe because of less off balance but it will come back worst in a few weeks time as the actual problem was not fixed. regards Alan [/QUOTE]
