D1 stock front drive shaft slip yoke "clocking"?

[Vegas99D1]

Ok, so i had issues with vibrations coming from my stock front drive shaft and replaced it with a Tom Woods DC. When removing the stock drive shaft, the two pieces separated at the slip yoke. I have been told that these two are "clocked" a certain way to reduce vibration? Is this true or can i just stick them back together and not worry about it or is there a way to determine how they go back together the same way?

It,s got to be clocked correctly to avoid vibration .

Thank you, i got that part...Does anyone know HOW you clock it?? Special symbols that line up on the slip yoke?

From the manual:

Great picture! How do you factor how many degrees A and B are? Or, how many spline difference is there between them? This is what i need to find out.

Tw is not offset at an angle like the factory shaft

p m - thank you!

Robertf - i upgraded to the TW DC and it's my stock drive shaft that came apart.
