Does anyone know if it is 'important' to have both rear axle/U-joint 
assemblies on a TR-6 be 'in sync' with each other (i.e. if the upper 
yoke/u-joint assembly on the left side of the diff is vertical, does the 
one on the right side need to be vertical as well or...).  The PO took it 
apart and neither the Bentley or Haynes manuals discuss this.  The splines 
on the axle where they go into the diff are not keyed, although the slip 
joint between the upper and lower axles are.  

I am curious becuase it is important to have the yoke assemblies parallel 
to each other on the drive shaft (for vibration, etc), however the splined 
slip joint on the drive shaft is not keyed, so you can put it together 
incorrectly.   

Thanks in advance,

Steve Sutton
