Brad,
The driveshaft is phased properly when the ends are in the same plane. IOW if
you can
lay the driveshaft flat and the yoke on one end is perpendicular to the table,
then
the other end must also be perpendicular. This is easy to visualize if you
have the
flanges off the other side of the U-joints, but if they are still attached,
take a
minute and look only at the driveshaft itself, not the flanges.
Regards,
