I replaced the rear diff pinion seal on my Ram 1500 this afternoon. Prior to disassembly I marked everything up incl. the pinion nut itself so it all goes back exactly the same.
However, whilst cleaning I managed to remove most of the marking I drew between the differential housing and yoke. Once the yoke (and pinion nut) was reinstalled, I offered up the driveshaft UJ to the yoke and realised that those markings (and bolt holes) were slightly off. I pulled the driveshaft out from the transmission and rotated it one notch which resulted in everything lining up again.
Is there anything wrong in having rotated the driveshaft one notch in the transmission to realign the rear UJ with the diff yoke? Or should I remove the yoke again and rotate it a notch so everything is reinstalled exactly as it was previously?
