There are only two runout inspections in the service manual:
1) for the propeller shaft
2) for the snubber
Given that the input shaft is only supported by one bearing, and connected to the coupler, you can't rely on this observation for anything. If you really wanted to evaluate the input shaft, it should have done it while disassembled.
