Actually the Rotation does Reverse if a HalfShaft is Flipped But If ReInstalled

on the Same Side of Trany the Face of the BallGroove the Receives or Transmits the 

Force Remains the Same ~ Have to think about the Inboard End Being Driven & the

Outboard End Being the Driver ~ When Flipped & the Rotation Reverses the Face of

the BallGroove the Receives or Transmits the Force Remains the Same Because the 

1 that was the Driven becomes the Driver & ViseVersa ~
