Doughnut on 300 rear prop shaft

[Jake]

Whats the score with the rubber doughnut on the rear prop on a 300 disco?
Is it essential?
Mines looking a bit ropey, should i replace it?
Can i get rid of it?
Do i need to change the rear prop if i get rid of it or does the prop just bolt together with out it?
Advice please.
 :D

As you have got lifted suspension, I would suggest you get a 200tdi prop and output flange. The lift puts more strain on the doughnut and cause all sorts of vibrations...
