Something else I recently completed this winter was the Manny 1-Ton front end conversion. Something I noticed during work was the mating flanges were not properly aligned. I took a quick video to further illustrate:

The inside CV houses quite a bit of mass, upwards of 50+ MPH generated noticeable vibration. I'd thought there was an inside centering ring on the half shaft for alignment, but i was wrong, just the bolts are used for alignment. I've not yet attempted to loosen the bolts and center, I have doubts that even if I do it will stay in that position for long.

Any thoughts?
