New transmission shafts...assymetry?

[Richard Williams]

I have recently installed a new tranmisson drive shaft on an 86 GTL. when I spin the shaft it seems to wobble; I haven't yet got the new shaft in the other side, Anyone had a similar experience? . There's a lable on the shaft which makes it LOOK a little uneven but it can't be just that. Shall I install the otherside and see if it is still there. The shaft went into the transmission houseing very easily and I had no time when the joint was under strain when I was installing. Renault part,by the way.

Don't worry - they all do that! It's just the way that CV joints work. The middle bit does run around the center a little when they are running at an angle.
