When you say the flanges need to be 90 degrees in relation to each other, do you mean the flanges on either side of the gearbox? Or do you mean the flanges need to be 90 degrees in relation to each other from the gearbox flange to the axle hub flange?

The flanges on the axle assembly.

Since the axle is in two parts, a male and a female, the two parts slide in and out to compensate for the change in length as the suspension moves up and down.

In servicing the axle it can be disassembled and reassembled with the axle flanges in a different location.

Those flanges need to be kept at 90° to each other. That would be in phase.



Being out of phase would create an unbalance when the axle was rotating at some rpm.
