driveshaft alignment

["Bob and Mauri Rand" <r-mrand@domain.elided>]

Thanks to all who sent info my way about driveshaft alignment and balancing.
My theory is correct that the yokes of a driveshaft must be on the same
plane in order for things to rotate/oscillate correctly.

Also, I was told there were two arrows which when aimed at each other will
align the male and female splines.  I saw at least two "out of car"
driveshafts and no arrows existed.  I finally had a chance to look at mine
and guess what... two arrows that look like this...

                           >>--------->        <---------<<

were indeed there and when the respective parts were connected, the yokes
were on the same plane.  Mystery solved.

Thanks again...
