good demonstration of the importance of driveline phasing, could also apply to steering shafts.

Re: drive line
Great demo.
Maybe should be in the Tech Knowledge base.
Once that driveshaft is built, no amount of adjusting yoke angles will fix vibrations if the universal joints aren't phased correctly.

Yeah. I've changed my signature. The old one was out of date...

Re: drive line
Just to throw a left field pass.
Some LandRover Discoveries have their front driveshaft built out of phase from the factory.
I don't know why but it apparently stops vibrations.
Would be nice to know why they are built like that.

Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Re: drive line
Guessing here, but maybe there's an additional out of phase that occurs in the front hubs, so the out-of-phase drive shaft compensates?

Re: drive line
No idea hwy LandRover do it but they do some weird stuff.
I know the front shaft does have a fairly extreme angle at the transfer and the angles aren't equal!
It may be the unequal angles that cause them to have it out of phase.
