allright i own a 93 nissan pickup (extd cab, 4x4, has the 2 or 4" stock lift) and i replaced the center support driveshaft bearing (the rubber bushing/bearing in the middle of both the driveshafts) and after i put it together the truck had and still has a vibration, now i was told later (2 months later) that your supposed to mark both the driveshafts so that they go back together the same way or else they will be out of phase, and also have a vibration.

now my questing, since my driveshafts are out of phase with eachother how do i put them back in phase?well without taking it apart and putting it together and testing

also for anyone wondering why i didnt take apart the bracket holding the bearing, its because the bolts were froze in place and i had no heat and couldnt find anyother way to get them off.

Thats the only way your going to do it. There is another way but it will cost ya, is to take the shaft to a shop that balnces them and they can balnce the shafts out. this would require you to remove both halfcs from the vehicle though and take it to them.

well i actually did own a metro, it was a 96 and had the huge 1.0 in it. i actually traded it for tha pos truck im talking about because i figured that id take a truck over the good running no problems metro i had. well i was wrong and now im getting my metro back lol. the only thing cool about the metro is i did a manifold back 2" exhaust system with no cat, it sounds mean as hell.o well im getting her back and im gonna hopefully find a chevy spring 1.0 turbo to swap into it (from 50 to 70 hp!! lol) imma pimp the hell outta it, and have anti rice stickers all over it hahaha
