Benzmac,

When I removed my driveshaft ('87 300D) I removed it with front/rear still together and the U-joint was perfectly smooth in all directions. then, I secured the rear shaft flange and loosened the large hex nut to separate the shafts. after that, it had the "detents in both straight positions". is this normal, is there a reason that's easy to understand?

Thanks,
Brian
