i have just started to notice that around 100kmph i have a vibration through the body of my GQ (not through the steering) and sometimes there's a clunk if i drop the clutch too quickly. am thinking uni joint...? how difficult is a uni joint swap on a GQ TD42?

uni joints are very simple to check. get under there and check for side to side wear.

can't commenet on replacing as i've never done the work but i think some uni's are pressed in and some use circlips.

have fun
