BOZO Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Does anybody have a visual of a 2 piece driveshaft for a 2wd 1973 620 truck. I removed the rear yoke from my front driveshaft to replace the carrier bearing thinking the splines would fit only one way (one blind spline), but I was wrong. I put it back together with the two ends clocked together like the other two piece driveshafts of various vehicles I own but it now vibrates. I have found out since then that you are supposed to mark the driveshaft and yoke before separating them but hindsight is 20/20. Quote Link to comment

As there are really only two clocked positions to match the front yoke and you may simply be just 180 degrees out. Just try separating the two driveshafts and turn the front one 180 and bolt together again and try that. 1 Quote Link to comment
