ALIGNMENT OF U-JOINTS
Whenever the drive shaft u-joints are disconnected it is necessary to align the two u-joints when
reconnecting the square shaft. It is possible to assemble the joints 90 degrees from correct
alignment. Incorrect alignment will cause excessive vibration and shorten joint life.
See diagram below.
