I was using the U styled straps. I may have overtightened them. I have to get back to the garage to measure the pinion angle. I did check the driveshaft length with the car on jackstands originally, not with the axle loaded...DOH! I'll check that as well. Thanks for all the great suggestions...keep them coming please.
