MG MGB Technical - new axle replace tomatch up to driveshaft

when you install rear end how to balance to univ. on driveshaft
l.f. frank

Prop-shafts should be balanced as an assembly and be capable of being bolted to the gearbox and axle flanges in any orientation. However if removing and replacing a prop-shaft it is good practice to mark the flanges the principle being that if it was balanced like that before then it makes sense to keep it that way. Manuals stress this although it is unimportant. What is far more important, and certainly my Leyland and Haynes manuals don't even mention, is if that you dismantle the UJs or sliding joint then you *must* mark all four pieces beforehand, as incorrect assembly is far more likely to affect balance than simply how they are attached to gearbox and axle.

But your posts are so cryptic I'm not even sure if that is what you are asking.
