Andrew:
Can you explain further about this?  I've read it before, but it
doesn't make sense to me.  The front diff, prop shaft and tranny
were not all balanced as a unit.  The prop shaft was (or should have
been) balanced by the driveline shop.  How can indexing it to each
end make any difference?  Am I missing something?
