Need a little help guys and girls

I have a knocking when above 50 mph ish, seems like the propshaft. Looking furthur into it it does seem to be the UJ, how do i know what UJ it is to replace it?

Also, anyone else had the same or similar problem?

Cheers

The UJ's on my prop were GKN Freelander. You will need to measure the overall width, and the diameter of the bearing cups,
expect to pay between £35-£50 a joint, any less than that are likely to be cheap Chinese ones
If you are stuck I have a new GKN joint somewhere in the garage.

You could take your prop to the proffesionals to check like dunning and fairbanks.
