    How can one know if a drive shaft is phased properly if it was separated and put back together? Also how does one balance a drive shaft?

    Im not a mechanic but I took mine to a shop that does driveshaft balancing and they rebuilt and balanced it. Do you have a new vibration after the driveshaft was put back in?

    I better post a pic. I'm not sure I can type that description.

    Now if it is correct, try dropping the slip end down and rotate it 180° at carrier bearing.
