Well.. this is interesting. So the new prop came with a phase alignment of 30° out of phase. I was aware that any misalignment of of the yoke would cause vibration. But the bring diff nose points down, by perhaps 15°, so this misalignment I imagine caters for that and cancels out perhaps. Also, the splined end of the shaft has to go at one end, now I did a little googling and no one could agree on which end. Haynes manual says splines always go to the forward most end, but many say that splines should point to the transfer case. Who knows, I put with splines to the transfer case. I may well flip the front prop as I think that the other way will allow water to leave the splined end.
The old propshaft was incorrectly phased for a front propshaft.
