    @cfree5119 how did you install your shims? And by that I mean, skinny side facing forward or backwards? I have very similar drive shaft measurements to what you posted and when I installed a 3° shim with the skinny side facing forward I'm now looking at a difference of 6° between my TC and pinion and my vibes are much, much worse. I'm going to try to flip the shims around and remeasure to see if I can get the TC and pinion angles parallel...
