    Driveshaft alignment

    My H&R cuplit should arrive Friday. SO this weekend I will be putting the car up on stands, dropping the suspension, and installing all the new parts. While I am there I plan to finish putting things together under the car.

    The only thing of concern is the driveshaft. I stored it up on some crates laying flat, and somehow it was knocked down and the 2 halves came apart in the process.

    There are no makings on it to help me align it, but im fairly sure it can only go back 2 different ways, because you are supposed to line up the yolks of the u-joints.

    Am I right here? someone care to elaborate here so i can put it together the way it will be balanced the first time :)

    Ouch, that sucks. I would just take it to a machine shop and have it rebalanced. Shouldn't cost much and that way you know for sure. Plus, it might have been out of balance and you didn't even know it.
