Dead on!!!! Got the answer a different way, took it to the shop and they stated the u-joint had siezed. Is this an inherent problem in the front driveshaft? I am new LR DISC owner (about 3 weeks, of which I have only driven it about 3 days) and do not have much knowledge of them. I'm trying to gather as much data about my vehicle so if stuff like this happens I can start diagnosing my own problems. Thank you for the reply!
