Paul Graves wrote a great article in the "BMW ON" May 2009 on "Driveshaft Operation and Maintenance". In that article he went into detail of why it is critical to get the U-Joints on driveshaft "in the correct phase" to prevent damage to the joints and shaft. Especially on the GS due to the long suspension travel.
I have read the article several times but can't visualize either the correct orientation or how having the u-joints in the wrong positions will lead to stress and damage.
Can someone please post a photo showing all the U-Joints aligned correctly ['correct phase'] ?
Thanks...
