uh ooooh Driveshaft Imbalance

[Garageaholic]

I forgot to mark the driveshaft before removing both halves. How bad is this? and is there any way to tell where to put it back together?

50/50 chance you got it right if you put the universal joints on the same plane.

If it vibrates just rotate one half.

i've seen the white dots on 3 e30 driveshafts so far. methinks they are on all of them unless they have been worn off from the elements
