New driveshaft. Does this look right?

I just got my new Tom Woods driveshaft in, and wanted to make sure this looks right. I don't know if that is an appropriate amount of "inner shaft" to be showing.

Also, I am having some vibration issues, and not sure if it's the pinion angle, or the new rear gears that I had installed. I still have the 4* shims from before the SYE/driveshaft, and it kind of looks to me like the angle is not quite right, like the pinion is pointing too high.

To try and nail down the vibes, my plan was to: 1)pull the shaft and see if I still have the vibes without. 2) take out the shims

Any help would be appreciated.

Pinion should be 2* low with a SYE/CV shaft.......

Angle doesnt look that bad,but the angle of the shot really doesnt show much.As far as length,"its to short" if thats their std 3" yoke.

That is the front w/ a slipyoke & not rear w/a SYE/CV shaft. Pinion is too high.

It does look like the pinion is above centerline a bit. I agree that it should be a few degrees lower than centerline. Under acceleration it will go too high like that. Mine was like that when I got it. Dropped the pinion and balanced the shaft and it's smooth now.

JMO..

Actually, I think your doing a pretty good job yourself figuring it out
