How much driveshaft runout is allowable.
I was chasing down a vibration and decided to check my driveshaft runout. I was at about .010" in the middle of the shaft and noticed that it was worse at the differential end. It turns out the factory did not align the U-joint very well before injecting that plastic they use to lock it in place. They assembled it offest by about .030". Now I think my issue is actually a tire problem but I am wondering what the driveshaft spec is. My manual shows nothing at all.
I think the driveshaft is actually really straight, just mounted oddly.
