Ooops need a quick Drive-shaft Answer!!

99 disco II
Have had the drive-shafts off for a few months while doing some other tranny work....Forgot which side of the shaft goes to the Diffs!
Is it the side that extends when greased or the other side?
Thanks!

The single u-joint goes to the diff, in the rear you may still have a rotoflex, which would also go to the diff.

ok great thanks, that's how I had it but it mounts both ways!
I had it in one way then flipped it around. after two full days putting a new (used) tranny and all the bs that goes with it my brain is fried!!!!!
