My car has one of the same.  It's a seald unit, the  prop(drive)shaft
goes into a cup, there is a rubber bood between the wall of the cup and
the propshaft, half an inch in.  The cup has a eliptical sectioned ring
round the middle this seems to be sacraficial because if anythings goind
to hit the tunnel that will. 

Can't find any mention of it in the Hayns manual or the BL Workshop
Manual so if anyone has some more info ....
