Yeah, it could be the middle prop too. I know a samurai that had weird vibrations too, and it turned out to be a super stiff joint in the middle prop.

Deffo UJ's ... I had same problem - foolishly, I tested the UJ's when all the props were fitted - seemed ok, but when I took each and every prop of the car, nearly all UJs were knackered, and even worse one of the prop Flanges was so worn it was affecting the UJ replacement, and i ended up getting another flange! ...

Martin sells UJ's i think?.

Jalapeño, IISY?

Its most likely the rear prop one, if its the mini-prop one you can see both the G-box and T-box levers shaking violently (based on a memory of the effect on my SJ)

Another possible cause of vibration is from the tailshafts. If they lose the little weights that are glued/welded to them to balance them, this can cause vibration. Check the shafts for a small square that indicates a weight has come off.
