Rearend Whine
Please first see

Now, to explain my current dilemma. Everything is back together and seemed to be fine. But, now when I accelerate hard I get a rear end whine.
Could this be caused by the caps being flipped, or possibly not shimmed correctly?
I looked up the symptoms in the Ford service manual, and it said that the drive shaft was put in 90 to 180 degrees off. Would that actually cause a whine?
Thanks in Advance

Some people swear that you have to put the driveshaft back in the same position as it was removed. If not, you can get a vibration problem. Personally I do not subscribe to that theory. I have never had an issue R&Ring a driveshaft then getting vibration issues. But then again I do mark the positioning before removing......
I do not see the reasoning why driveshaft positioning creating a whining problem. Which bearings did you replace? What did the wear pattern look like when you reassembled it? What backlash did you use?
