Vibration under load

[bigchiefkeef]

Guys ive a 2012 berlingo van, 50,000 miles, lately ive noticed a vibration under load in 4th and 5th gears it starts around the 2,000 rpm and carries through to maybe 4,000 rpm. I spoke to a mechanic and he was saying the the inner cv joint could be the problem here? any help would be great, do they have a split drive shaft?

It's front wheel drive so it has two drive shafts with two cv joints each so two inners and two outers.

form experience. rear wheel drive cars that develop this sort of vibration you can guarantee its something todo with the prop.
as for front wheel drive.........hmm.
never heard of a cv joint giving off that. but im a driver not a fitter.
where do you feel the vibration? through your hands, spine or bum.....or even just here it?

it was the nearside cv joint, had it changed so all is good, thanks guys
