    Is the phasing on the driveshaft ujoint bearing caps all suppose to be within 3 degrees of each other? im wondering because i was looking under my 96 tacoma the other day cause im getting virbation after installing career bearing, which i installed correctly. I read about something saying that the ujoint bearing caps should be very close.

    I believe the 3 degrees you are referring to is the maximum any one joint can be out of alignment. I could not come up with anything other than this...

    AFAIK yes. This is the diagram I used to try to line things up after the flange fell off before I got a match mark on it when I did my center bearing.
