Is it true that if you remove the propeller shaft without noting or making a "mating mark", and then putting it back ng basta-basta lang, would produce vibration?


You see, my paj produces this slightly irritating LRT sound at 80kph and only at that speed. Slower or faster, wala. I would tend to suspect that my bearings are faulty, but i remember that this sound only came up after i had my crossjoints replaced. the mechanic failed to make mating marks, thus, the propeller was not replaced in the original position. I read in Haynes that this could lead to vibration. But as i recall, all propeller shafts are balanced diba?


What my other mechanic suggested was that we remove the shaft, turn it a little, replace it in a different position (with reference to previous spindle position) and then test drive. The whole process would be repeated until said vibration is gone.
