The driveshaft and the pinion shaft should be in a straigh line. If not the u-joint wil accelerate in part of its rotation and decel on another part. It will wear the joint out doing this. Closer to straight is better. Actually straight is best. Use a tubing bender mag base angle finder. Put it on the top of your drive shaft and then on top of the pinion guard. The two should have the same deflection off "0" or be at the same angle from 90 degrees.
