Does anyone know if it is 'important' to have both rear axle/U-joint
assemblies on a TR-6 be 'in sync' with each other (i.e. if the upper
yoke/u-joint assembly on the left side of the diff is vertical, does the
one on the right side need to be vertical as well or...). The PO took it
apart and neither the Bentley or Haynes manuals discuss this. The splines
on the axle where they go into the diff are not keyed, although the slip
joint between the upper and lower axles are.
I am curious becuase it is important to have the yoke assemblies parallel
to each other on the drive shaft (for vibration, etc), however the splined
slip joint on the drive shaft is not keyed, so you can put it together
incorrectly.
Thanks in advance,
Steve Sutton
