A method of correcting unbalance of a propeller shaft (11) for an automotive vehicle, in which the propeller shaft (11) includes a slip joint (1) having male and female splines (25, 30) which are fitted with each other, and first and second connecting members which are to be connected to first and second support members (4) of the vehicle, each connecting member having a flange section to be connected. The method comprises the following steps: (a) fixing a phase-changing restricting member at an outer peripheral portion of the slip joint to restrict change of a locational relative phase between the male and female splines, the change being caused by existence of a spline clearance between the male and female splines; (b) measuring unbalance of the propeller shaft provided with the phase-changing restricting member to obtain a measuring result, by connecting unbalance measuring means to the flange section of the first connecting member; and (c) applying an adjustment on the flange section of at least one of the first and second connecting members in accordance with the measuring result by fixing an unbalance correcting member to the flange section so as to accomplish a final correction of unbalance of the propeller shaft. |
