Driveshaft: how much clearance?

Could be. PST, when talking with them, needed to know the manufacturer of the yokes, then had me send him the front yoke so that had it and installed it right away.
This local shop has been doing driveshafts for many decades & I've never had an issue until now. The owner is very knowledgeable and I've used them for many car projects. They supplied the front & rear parts of the driveshaft too.
