The situation at the beginning of the video is different from yours. In the video, the drive shaft has a single cardan at each end. In that case, the angles have to be the same on each end.
You have a double cardan at the t-case, correct?

Putting the angle finder on each end of the drive shaft, and finding the angles the same, indicates you are not understanding the point.

You need to know the difference in angles between the drive shaft, and the pinion. It should be straight like the photo/drawing a few posts ago.

Ok so looking at this picture basically the pinion angle and DS angle need to be the same?
Thank you for your patience
I was never good in geometry

Yes. A line drawn through the drive shaft should continue straight through the pinion shaft.

Using Paint and drawing a line makes sense.

At this point, I'll bow out and let the adjustable control arm experts continue.
