OK....I am getting that famous "scrapping" noise consistently every time I drive my R AWD wagon and I fear its the propeller shaft. IT has 121K miles on it. How do I determine if any of those front and rear "hardy disk" assemblies are bad OR I have a more serious problem like the bevel gear? When I yank on the front hardy disk bearing it has "slight" radial play...is this ok. Don;t want to foolishly speng $850 on a new drive shaft assembly if mine is ok! Otherwise....car is smooth and no clunking at all.
