Mike, ya gotcher output shaft and yer input shaft, usualy the output is fixed and the input goes ta yer diff which goes up an downy, take yerself a good look at the possible ways there be ta hook these two units tagether, ona count a the splines of eather trans an diff. If you kin magin the shaft spinnin like tha devil hisself goin up an downy all the while yer bouncin an blastin over holes an such, it would make good sense if yer U-Joints wuz in time so thet when the diff flexed they wouldn't wouldnt be a bind at the trans. Look at the drive shaft an see how theys a splined connektshun to give flex in the shaft while movin up an downy, when assembled ya want to make shure thet the U-Joints is in perfect refletshun to each uther, you kin easy see what kind ofa bind they would be if they wuznt, does thet make cents? Lesse... You cud easy see thet the slines wud allow ya any number a possible cominashuns of "timing" betwixt the output an input U-Joints, its only when they is "timed" corretidly thet ya get a mirrer image between the two. Cundufused ma own danged self, hope thet helps. Crazy
