Does anyone have a picture of the factory makings on a drive shaft from a 1984 300sd. I do not have a shop manuel. Thank you

On 1983 & later driveshafts there is raised areas on both sections.
One rear section has 2 "humps" & the front has 1 hump.
The front section with 1 hump must be aligned between the 2 humps on the other section.

Can e-mail picture

Do a little search here on the Forum and you will come up with pictures, good pictures of these drive shaft alignment marks.
