Steve,
The yokes must be lined up exactly or you will get a lot of vibration from
the universals not working properly. If the drive shaft needs balancing, at
least it will now be able to be properly balanced, whereas it couldn't have
been with the uni's out of alignment.
regards,
Bob Hutton

Subject: TR6 Prop shaft
Listers;
I recently changed u-joints at both ends of the prop shaft. Unfortunately,
my vise went south on me about half way through refit. I brought the shaft
to a machinist locally to finish the job, and he did. BUT, he said the
yokes were not lined up with each other(so they both are in the same
attitude on the shaft), and he went ahead and lined them up. My question:
is this going to affect the balance now? Or is this the way they should
have been in the first place?
TIA again!
