Two-Piece Propeller Shaft Phasing

The setup and measurement techniques are identical to that of a the one-piece propeller shaft system.
First, inspect for proper phasing, using the following procedure:




1. Turn the rear propeller shaft so that the rear U-joint is straight up and down. Verify that the front U-joint of the rear propeller shaft is also straight up and down.
2. Rotate the shafts 90 degrees so that the front propeller shaft front U-joint is straight up and down. Ensure that the front propeller shaft is also straight up and down (actually part of the slip yoke on the rear shaft).
If the 2 U-joint of the front propeller shaft are not in this phase, the 2 halves of the propeller shaft may have been assembled incorrectly.
