Vibration question

I feel a little bit of vibration when I'm cruising at around 80-85 mph. I'm not really sure what's causing it but the only thing I did was install the air locker and during the install, I forgot to hold the driveshaft while removing the bolts and it drop into the crossmember. I don't think that's enough to bend it though. I also didn't mark the orientation of the driveshaft to the u-joint so I'm not sure if I installed it the same exact position prior to removal. My question is, does it have to be bolted back into the same position/bolt holes during re-installation? It's not really not bad but it felt different after the locker install. Even my wife notice it when we were driving. Please help.

George

Yes it does need to be bolted back up with the proper orientation to the flange. There should be some paint marks from the factory on there. This is the most likely cause of you problem.
