    2015 drive shaft phasing

    I'm not sure if I even know what drive shaft phasing is. I ask about it because last summer I had a rewired stator installed by my dealer in my high mileage 2015 RT.

    Paralever U-Joints: Correct Phase?

    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...

    Driveshaft Phasing?

    I understand the driveshaft phasing and I have looked at 3 K100RS shafts including a new one at the dealer and none were perfectly phased. All were off perfect alignment by about one tooth. Is this acceptable? Thanks Dale C.
