I have an old Jeep Cherokee that the drive shaft fell out of. I just had the drive shaft repaired and balanced by a specialist and will be putting it back in the vehicle. I understand that I needed to have marked the pinion flange and the drive shaft mount, but since I wasn't able to do that, how do I reinstall it correctly without any marks?

Will it matter?
