    Hello I didn't see any threads addressing my question specifically so forgive me if I missed one. I recently took my driveshaft into a driveline specialist shop to have 3 U Joints replaced and when I went back to reinstall the holes would not line up on either the differential or the yoke. I had paint lines on the shaft before I removed initially to ease reinstallation but when I received the shaft back from the shop they were gone. No matter how I rotate the shaft to reinstall the 4 front holes will not coordinate with the rear 4. I was curious if the offset could have been on the shops end upon replacement of the joints???

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    maybe they gave you the wrong driveline? It should line up somewhere.
