Driveshaft phasing - Puma 90
Just checking the the defender 90 driveshaft/propshaft phasing.
I removed my drive shaft to clean an oily handbrake drum, and popped the rubber boot to check the grease on the splined shaft. Also gave it a bit of a degrease after a few cycles of grease have been flung around over the kilometers. Foolishly, I didn't mark it before I removed the short splined shaft from the driveshaft proper.
Service manual suggests short splined shaft is required to be 'out of phase' by approx 60 degrees (guessing 60 degrees, as there are 6 rows of ball bearings for the 6 splines on this shaft):
Just checking that given that the overall shaft (large part) is balanced from factory, if it's possible to be out of balance by 180 degrees on the short section at the phasing per FSM recommendations?
In less technical terms, if I make it look like the picture, do I have to worry which one of the 2 possible options I have to make it so?
