    I just changed out all my old u joints and for some reason my driveshaft wont align properly to the rear dif now. Anyone know how to realign it or what the issue is?

    As in the bolt holes won’t align? Put the transfer case in neutral and spin the driveshaft or jack up the back end and spin the rear axle.
