Abstract

A power transmission device comprises a propeller shaft (PS) and a rear axle device (AR) that is linked and transmits rotational drive force. In the structure linking the propeller shaft and the rear axle device, a first mark indicating the direction of rotational imbalance in the propeller shaft is provided to the propeller shaft, a second mark is provided to a companion flange (30) linked to the propeller shaft in the rotation transmission device, for indicating the direction of rotational imbalance in the companion flange (30), and the propeller shaft and the companion flange are linked on the basis of the first and second marks.
