Hi everyone just putting this out there for some advise.I have put back the running gear back into the car over the last couple of weeks. I noticed today whislt the car was up on the hoist that the tail shaft was not completely straight . The center bearing has a bigger gap on the drivers side than the passenger side. the car a 6 cyl with an auto and a b/w diff. When you look at the under carriage you can see the tail shaft is not straight. The gearbox and engien mounts all lined up when putting eveything back in It is as if the diff has to be pushed across to the drivers side 1. is this normal ( i doubt it) 2. does the car need an adjustable panhard rod to make the diff line up with the rest of the driveline........ any ideas i will try to post a pic but i think it wiould be hard to dark to see anything Thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

center bearing might be ****ed? is there movement when you push it up/down, side to side

center bearing is new all uni joints are new

The driveline is slightly off centre from new hence some vibration under hard acceleration.

so what you are saying this normal??????????????????

put a pic up so we can see how bad it is ?

If it was on a jack in the air (with the wheels hanging down), wouldnt the whole diff be sitting further towards the passenger side because of the panhard rod? Same reason you need an adjustable one when you lower it, to line it back up to center

I will try to post a pic i might invest in an adjustable panhard rod

The driveshaft will never be straight which is why they are designed 2 piece (to flex in the middle) This is why when guys fit a 1 piece driveshaft they hit on the floorpan.

and if he's jacked it up off the diff why would it be in a different position?

He said it was on a hoist, therefore probably not jacked off the diff

oh i see, my bad, depends on the hoist but
