Greetings

Strange how events take place over 24 hrs.(driveshaft postings)I was
just over in Vancouver BC on Thursday, business trip, but took the
opportunity to have my driveshaft repaired. New U-joints, balanced and
painted. 200.00 Cdn. This shop told me that they tried a different
supplier for the U-joints this time. They also use external shims. Told
me it was the best fit he has had on these syncro shafts.
The shaft is not installed yet and it might be a couple of days before I
get a chance to do this. I will keep you informed on how it performs.

Question about installation. Bently describes alignment but seems rather
vague. When you loosen the noted(Bently)bolts on the front diff, what is
meant by alignment ? With the shaft bolted on does it does is move or
center the diff ? Also, noting the previous flange marks. My shaft has
been out so long, no longer noted. This a problem ?

Thanks
88 syncro
