Lateral movement. Grab the end (near gearbox and then near differential) and try to wobble it left to right or up and down (this checks the needle bearings). Then try to make the prop shaft move from front to back ( use both hands and try to make it move away from the diff/gearbox). Finally but most importantly. (you need another person to do this properly), Check for lateral movement when the vehicle is put in gear (yes you have to have the vehicle jacked up and put on stands). Unnatural noises and movement will tell you all lol..

Three differences between a drive shaft and a prop shaft?
1) Drive-shafts are used on FWD but Prop-Shafts are used on RWD or 4WD. 2)A Drive-Shaft has final drive via a CV joint but a Prop-Shaft has final drive via a Differential. 3)A Drive-Shaft is smaller, lighter and saves space by not having a transmition tunnel.

How do you know if you need a new prop shaft?

What are 2 advantages of using a two piece prop shaft arrangement?
It allows a reduction in transmission tunnel height.The critical speed of the total prop shaft arrangement is higher without increasing the diameter (reducing shaft whip).
What does a a prop shaft weigh?

Where is the impeller on a 2.2hp mercury outboard?

Is it safe to drive a front end loader without the front prop shaft?

When you lock my jeep wrangler in four wheel drive theres a knocking sound in the front differential while in motion any clues of what it might be?
The Prop shaft (front drive shaft) has a ball type cv joint that sits in bearings that connects to the transfer case. This is most likely shot and you need a front prop shaft (front drive shaft) complete with rubber boot and differential cv universal joint.
Three differences between a drive shaft designed for front wheel drive application and a prop shaft for rear wheel drive?
1. Driveshafts are smaller and lighter. 2. A prop shafts final drive goes through a dfferential, whereas a driveshaft uses a cv joint.
