u-joint replacement ?
 
so I'am replaceing the carrier bearing and marked the drive shafts (2 pc) but didn't mark the yoke next the carrier bearing, all the videos said they only go on one way, so I didn't mark. it did have a missing tooth (like the ones in videos) but the drive line has all the spins on it. does it matter if I don't have it right? I have a 50/50 chance of putting it back on wright. Will it make the drive line out of balance if I'am 180 off. I do know that the yoke should be off set from the other end. 68 longbed stepside rear coil springs

I always install with the balance weights opposite of each other. That way there's less chance of running into stacked tolerances.

Actually only 1 of 2 ways it can go together. Just line up the u-joints so they match. so at the transmission you have the welded piece into the tube...that part of the joint I call fixed or solid. When you slip the yoke on the splines I consider that fixed. so line up the 2, you've got a 50/50 chance for balance. If you get a vibration, flip it 180
