Mart, thank you for your response. it's a stock tube, driveshaft and rear. In fact, it's the original parts except for the rear being rebuilt, new center bearing, sleeve, front bearing and rear coupler. Actually, this is my second go at this issue. I originally thought the bearing or sleeve wasn't seated properly so I took it all out and re-did it. Same issue but maybe a hair worse this time. In total I don't think I'm much more than an 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch off.

I put the u-joint on last night and it seats up close to the speedometer gear, so I'm really wondering how important that clip is. I hate putting it together with any issue but not sure it's a bi deal in this case. Any thoughts on that?
