1969 Driveline Phase
Hey Guys,
I am usually in the super duty section, but have an early bronco question. I am currently restoring a 69, 302, 3sp manual. The drive lines when removed appear to be 45 degrees out of phase?!?!?!?! I used the search and did not see anything on this. is this normal for these??? i have the early Borg-Warner shafts. it appears that the splines are out of phase, but i find a picture of a new drive line that looks the same. I only drove the bronco once before dis-assembly, and do not remember any vibration. What are your thoughts????????
Thanks in Advance, Roger.

I agree Tom, but i found a picture of a new driveline at toms that looks out of phase like this one!?!?!?!?!?!? It is both the front and rear that are out of phase. This is definately odd.

out of phase?
Is this a chebby thing or what (I don't think so)? I'm ignorant. Drive shafts have lill weights welded on them for balance, not familiar w/ the splines needing to line up in some cases or what this "phase" idea is... Also not sure "off center" motors/trans/transfer etc apply to this original poster's Q (Subie is the only modern vehicle I C regularly w/equal length drive shafts). Thanx-

I have never heard of a driveline being out of phase either. Maybe that's not what Bob was referring to, but I'm sure that's what the OP was referring to.

What i am talking about is on every driveline i have ever seen, the u-joints are in a line down the shaft. On the drivelines on this bronco, the rear u-joint is about 45 degrees out of line with the other joints.
sorry for any confusion
