I replaced all the U joints and center support bearing today on my 58 Impala and when I noticed the U joint forks were not in phase. The rear half of the drive shaft has the forks in phase and these are welded on. The front half has the forks 90 deg out of phase. I checked the shop manual and this is correct. It seems to me that this would create drive line vibration but GM must have a reason for doing it this way. Can anyone shed some light on this? Just like to understand the reason why.
