As a side note I installed 45 degree grease zerks on the u-joints so they can be greased once in a while. Just take the plug out of the center and replace with a metric fitting.
sbu driveshaft ?
while getting ready to install the drive shaft between the bell housing and the trans, my buddy told me i need to offset the u-joints (in other words, place the splined part so that the u joints are 90 degrees off from eachother) to avoid bad vibes....i dont think ive ever heard of this....im sure most of you know if this needs to be done. thanks, kris

SDO jr. here, there's a plug in the center of the u-joint, at least on mine. So if you put a 90 or 45 zerk, it will point outward so you could grease it with the driveshaft in place. I think it's 8mm maybe.
I would think so, I got mine at ACE hardware. A 45 is easier on the tranny side, but a PITA to install.
