Centerlines of front axle, rear axle, engine trans assy. should be parallel within 1/2 to
one deg to eliminate any possibility of vibration. Since the frt axle angle is set
I would try to adjust engine position and angle to get the front correct first. You will more than likely need a cv joint considering the angles. The centerline of the axle must point at the cv joint within a couple degrees. I try to allow for axle wrap-up when position is determined. The rear can then be adjusted using shims or repostioning the axle pads on axle to maintain centerline.
If this results in excessive rear angles a cv joint can be used on rear also. This procedure may result in a compromise in front and rear angles. The larger the operating angle the closer to parallel the centerlines should be maintain to prevent vibration.
