Good info. Appreciate the educatin'. Looks like we keep the ends on the same plane. No 90 degree offset.
Mike: You mentionind balancing the half shafts. I removed a few grams of metal at the yokes to assure no clearance issues where it fastens to the stub axle. I see nothing to indicate that they were ever balanced. Should I be removing the entire assembly and taking it somewhere to get it balanced? Or is this of more academic concern in a car that will be used primarily on the street?
And for those of us out in the country, who would balance a half shaft? I am guessing it would take something more than rolling it on a couple of sharp blades to see where it ends up amd sticking on a lead weight.
