With the rear lower control arms disconnected from the axle, jack up the pinion end of the differential until it measures 2 degrees less than the drive shaft angle. Then adjust your lower control arms to the correct length to maintain that angle. If they won't adjust short enough, you'll need longer rear uppers. Regarding the break, if your drive shaft was at too extreme an angle, you would have had vibrations. More likely the u joint was not seated properly.

So I've ended up ordering the RK 3 link conversion for the rear and front upper adj control arms to correct the angles. I will post pics when installed.
