Installing a new cardamon joint and bearing. I noticed there is a bit of rotational movement in the drive shaft and shaft sleeve. The splines are fine with no evident wear. I changed the joint and bearing because I had a vibration around 60 mph in top gear that wasn't there previously.

There should be very little if any, "slop", cardan joint to driveshaft to coupler.

Use a good sticky grease and relube with every tire change and they'll last as long as we will . Peter

This is an over 100,00 mile bike. I'll check with Harpers about new ones. While there is no evident wear, it feels sloppier than I think it should. Cardamon to driveshaft is fine. Thanks.
