Been putting up with the very poor caravan wifi for years. Tried using a wifi extender for a while with limited success.

Having just had the unit joints replaced on the 2014 bt50 I have what appears to be a driveline vibration at about 40/50 mph. I have crawled under and found the unit yokes are not in phase . I was wondering if this is right or has the two parts of the tailshaft been put together incorrectly?
