GU4 Patrol Front Driveshaft

Is it a problem? if not, leave well enough alone is my advice.
Cheers Colin.

Drive shafts assembled with the yokes out of phase are the major cause of torsional vibration. Drive shafts that are not in phase will vibrate with the same twice per revolution vibration as a drive shaft with incorrect operating angles.
That is what we were taught when I did my apprenticeship and is the one of the guiding principles on which drive line engineering is based.
It is not causing a mechanical problem but I do not want to wait until it does either. It is a problem in my mind because I know the way it is set up is incorrect unless Nissan have purposely designed it that way for a reason and if that is the case once I know the reason I will be happy to leave it as it is.
It would not be the first time incorrect mechanical assembly has occurred on a production line.
