Test-drive the vehicle.
If you installed a new propeller shaft, test-drive the vehicle at 55 mph (88 km/h), and check for noise or vibration. If there is a noise or vibration, rotate the propeller shaft 180 degrees from its current alignment with the rear differential companion flange, then recheck.
