sierra drive shafts
looking at a sierra drive shafts today and notices that 1 end was true and straight and the other was a little off so was the other side in other
words if you were to put them on the ground and roll them they would roll in a circle IS THIS CORRECT or are they wrong THE SHAFTS ARE STRAIGHT

Push or bolt on?
There is a bit of give in both types and the UJ's can move on the splines or within the tripods

If they dont wobble, then they are true and straight, I would assume the roll in a curve is down to difference between the spline count/diameters? Do
they only fit in a specfic cv?

never noticed any wobble in them and I can't think any reason there would be other than they are bent, has anyone jacked the donor up on them?
seems a bit odd

i was speaking with the machanic and he said that the reason for that is as the car travels on the road the shaft moves with the camber of the road to
make a more comfortable ride they are ok but thanks for the help
