what part of my 4wd scooby with 1 600bhp engine dont you understand? 
Im using a different gearbox which is longer, thus requiring a shorter prop.

It's a bit like the way 'some' places balance turbo's. You measure the vibration then grind a bit off the nut, if it gets better, continue to grind, if it gets worse you grind the other side !
Same with the propshaft but you turn the position of the jubilee clip and maybe add more clips depending how badly out it is.
