Hy
thanks for the Information..
to put the rear axle to the same line / angle than the drive shaft shouldnt be a Problem ... i do have a 4-link Setup
Would you recommend a double cardan slip yoke ? i want to stay with a one Piece drive shaft....
Are these double cardan Joints are less sensitive against vibrations etc. ??
thanks

Basically you want the output shaft of the trans and the pinion shaft to be parallel with each other. Also true for side-to-side where you want the angles to match between the trans and the pinion. If you really want to get technical, you actually can run the pinion 2-3 degrees down from where you want it to compensate for torque while you are moving.
With a CV, you want the pinion to point directly at the tailshaft of the trans. There should be 0 degree difference between the pinion angle and the driveshaft angle.
