Hi,

I noticed my driveshaft pinion angles and tailshaft angles are not good and I will correct that, but next to that I also notice that the driveshaft is not inline of the pinion yoke. There is a clear side to side angle there. I mean an angle when you look from under the car to the sky.
I guess there must be one angle as well at the transmission end.

Is that normal?
If not how can you correct this? Does it comes from the engine then?

The car vibrate at speeds above 65 miles, but other than that it runs smooth and the engine revs entirely without vibrations.

Thanks
