Zusammenfassung:Threaded connections whereby off-center axial alignment of connected components is maintained, and methods of forming same, are provided. In one embodiment, threads on one connection component are timed to match the timing of the threads on the other connection component. The one component has a connection sleeve screwed thereon. Once the one component and the other component are mated in the desired axial alignment and such that the threads on each join to form a continuous, unbroken thread, the connection sleeve is screwed onto the other component to form the threaded connection.
