   Drive Shafts.
   
   If they're as bad as you say, change them ASAP before they snap or shatter.

   new drive shaft will set you back about £75 from europarts
   second hand one from scrappers maybe £25-£30 but is a risk tho
   
   then you got to think about are you going to fit it ot eill a garage
   garage will proberly charge about 2-3 hours labour
   do it your self priceless
