There is about 2mm play in rear universal joint on end of drive shaft that bolts to diff. Would this cause car vibration at 70 to 90 km/Hr! Thanks.

99% chance that the U/J is the source of the vibration.

Play in a U/J is a WOF fail anyway, so you will kill two birds with one stone.

Taken Drive shaft off, play in U/J by diff, will change it out. Thanks Chaps. The little EX has been a Grannie car for 25 years, sorting some things out on it!

Also Check for missing weights on Drive shaft, some are balanced like a wheel. This can cause further things to fail.

Pressed out old u/j today and fitted NEW U/J, all fixed, weights were still on drive shaft, Thanks.
