Except 2-Piece Shafts

Ensure yoke on each end of drive shaft is in same plane. Check for arrows on slip joint and drive shaft to aid in alignment. When drive shaft is correctly installed, center line of yokes at each end of individual shafts will be parallel. See Fig 1. If center lines are not in same plane, remove drive shaft. Install drive shaft with center lines aligned.
