Re-Phase Drive shafts

[Razor]

Tons of posts on out of phase drive shafts, can't find any on how to re align them.

Just curious.

It's as simple as pulling the slipyoke out of the slip spline and rotating it so that it faces in exactly the same position as the welded yoke on the other end of the driveshaft.

yep....un-slip it, align the u-joints, reslip it.

yep....un-slip it, align the u-joints, reslip it.

If Woody is gonna get kinky about it you may wish to include lubing the splines before you reslip it.

Rephasing hijack...regarding balancing

Tool mine apart, blasted and por'd...how important/critical to balance the driveshafts? Should it be done before I put the new universals on? What parts are actually "spun" and balanced?

Thanks!

Cheers and keep on Cruising!
