How Can Drive Shaft Vibration Be Addressed After Installation on 2001 Ford Escape?

The first step to fix driveshaft vibration following installation must start by lifting and supporting the vehicle. Begin the fix by disconnecting the front driveshaft then rotate its front flange by 60 degrees before reattachment. The next step involves disconnection of the rear driveshaft universal joint before turning it by 180 degrees and reattaching it. Test the vehicle after lowering it to the ground. When vibration continues after the indexing process you should repeat the procedure. Drive shaft balance is required when indexing fails to solve the vibration problem.
