so i installed the above listed couplers on my 1994. existing couplers were definitely shot on visual inspection and had started to rattle at speed.
now i have an unbalanced installation, as in i did something wrong. i feel confident the front end of the drive shaft went in aligned the way it came out, but not sure about the rear engine mount. i may have reassembled differently. may not have aligned the floating metal shuttle coupler and may not be mounted to engine mounts same as came out.
AND using the above couplers required brakeline bushings/spacers to take space in the bolt holes which still left a little more play than originals. the sleeves i cut are not all same length so rotating mass is different. but couplers do not shift once i've installed and feel solid.
and i moved the engine accessory carriage mount forward a bit to make room for the BMW couplers, but may not have moved each side the same distance. they're difficult to move around.a
How do i balance this? i've started changing the rear mount configuration around and still get good shakes driving at highway speeds. does a shop have a tool that could help this easy? i did this on jack stands in the driveway which is PIA! i have successfully changed SADS in the past on other previa.
are there alignment marks i can see to balance? way to balance the SADS shaft? without removing from under the van(so difficult to remove!)? i leave the shaft in place and change couplers on my SC awd previas.
thanks for any help. Hey Tim!
