hello all,
Hoping for some advice on how a propshaft should be aligned...
I just purchased a new front propshaft for my project landy ('94 200tdi defender) and noticed that the new shaft doesn't have the propshaft yokes in alignment.
I was taught (years ago) that the yokes on the shaft itself should be parallel so that the two UJ's 'cancel out' making the complete propshaft work as a CV joint.
there are alignment arrows stamped on the parts of the shaft either side of the splines and they are aligned, but the yokes are at about 45 degrees.
Should I re-align the shaft with the yokes parallel (but the shaft has presumably been balanced as it is)? or send it back to Island 4x4? or should I just fit it as supplied?
thx
