bobrick Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 hello everybody just a quick one on my project 90 restoration i have stripped it down to a roling chassis with the bulkead still in place i also left the prop shafts connected to the diffs but obviously disconnected them at the transfer box. i did mark the flanges at the transfer box end to maintain correct alignment when refitting however now i have washed it and cleaned tx box all my ,arks have dissappeared. what affect will it have if i just connect the propshafts to the transfer box as they are (cant see alignment marks) is the propshaft balanced on its own (ie disconnected on a test rig), or when it is fitted in the vehicle also if i choose to over haul the propshafts with new union joints circlips etc what affect is this likely to have on the balancing cheers for looking looking forward to your advice cheers will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 prop is balanced on it's own, just reconnect to the transfer box flanges, the bolt pattern will only let it fit in 1 of 2 orientations. so you have a 50/50 chance of getting it refitted the same. usually UJ overhaul/replacement doesn't affect the prop balance.

Mo Murphy Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Providing you didn't seperate the 2 halves of the propshaft it'll be fine. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
