Well I clocked the driveshaft yesterday with big success. There are only 6 bolts at the rear pinion so I could either do one hole at a time or in thirds (2 holes) so I moved it 1/3 or 2 holes and it got better. I then moved it another 1/3 and now it's perfect. So in total I moved it 2/3 clockwise from where it was. Thank you for this information, I didn't know it was even an option. I was concerned I was going to have to get a different brand because maybe there was something wrong with the shaftmasters.
Oh, for anyone else possibly thinking of doing this I was able to do it without removing anything. I used a long 10mm 12 point wrench to break the bolts loose and a 10mm ratchet wrench to get them out. Two of the bolts can not be completely removed because they hit the flange of the U joint so I left them all the way out when turning the driveshaft and used them to line up the new holes. My driveshaft kinda extends itself to become the proper length so I just used a rubber mallet to get it away from the pinion enough to put a small pry bar in the two pinion flange slots to compress the driveshaft out of the pinion flange. I had my son in the car putting it in gear and neutral as needed so I could rotate the bolts into view. I was on my lift but the same thing can be done lying on your back with jack stands.
