Look at your half shafts, I think you may have found your problem. The yokes on each half shaft should be positioned so that their center lines are on the same axis. You can't change the phase relationship from one side to the other, each axle is done separately.

I know that the shafts cannot be phased side to side, I was talking about the load path on the right shaft being different than the load path on the opposite shaft. The u-joints are phased side to side on each shaft but differently yoke to yoke. I am making them identical today to eliminate that situation. If they were not phased on either shaft the car would shake itself to death, it is not that bad.
