FZR The prop shaft is now fitted. All the noises have gone away, so for just over $500 I now have basically a new prop shaft and front CV Driveshafts. As I fitted everything myself there was no labour, I think to have the work done at a dealer you would be looking near $800-$1000 with labour.
gavinh I know it's abit late, bought one for my 98 V70XC a while ago. Still going strong. https://www.ebay.com.au/str/Propshaft+Parts+/
