engine and drivetrain CV joint install

[Hans]

I'm converting the old style sliding joint half shafts to CV joints. The old ones had a nub at on on end that mates with a hole in the outer flange to center the shaft.I think there is a similar arrangement on the diff flange. The new CV joints have no such centering aids - they just bolt on flat to flat. Are they self centering in some way? Or do the bolt holes pull it into place?

no centering, just bolt "flat to flat" on both ends to diff and stub axle.  use at least blue locktite on all the bolts and tq to spec (26ftlbs).
