Abstract: A driveshaft assembly includes a tube having a balancing weight attached thereto. A tube yoke is attached to the tube. A damper assembly is attached to the tube yoke. The damper assembly includes a dampening media and an inertia ring. The dampening media is disposed over an outer surface of the tube yoke and the inertia ring is secured to the dampening media.

Abstract: A flange yoke is precisely positioned on a companion flange that, in turn, is supported on a male splined shaft having a pilot that protrudes co-axially therefrom. The companion flange includes a female splined sleeve portion that cooperates with the male splined shaft and a flange portion that has a plurality of apertures formed therethrough. The flange yoke includes a flange portion that has a plurality of apertures formed therethrough that correspond generally in size and location with the plurality of apertures formed through the flange portion of the companion flange and a and a yoke portion. When the flange portion of the flange yoke is disposed adjacent to the flange portion of the companion flange, the apertures formed through the flange portion of the companion flange are axially aligned with the apertures formed through the flange portion of the flange yoke. The flange yoke has a pilot receiver that receives the pilot that protrudes from the splined shaft.
