[C320-list] shaft alignment

[John Frost]

We had a bad thump at those speeds on our MKII. Sounded like a "Drum  
Line" faceoff.  I used the site's procedure to alight the shaft and it  
worked.  We still have a little vibration at certain speends but the  
thump thump is gone. It is a lot more work than the procedure in the  
manual but I think it is worth it.
