I think Dave Nock's response is correct, but perhaps a little confusing. He
says that the DRIVING yokes should be at 90 degrees. The first DRIVING yoke is
on the slip joint and transmits torque to the first DRIVEN yoke. The second
DRIVING yoke is on the end of the driveshaft and transmits torque to the
second DRIVEN yoke which is attached to the differential. Thus the first
DRIVEN yoke and the second DRIVING yoke (being on the ends of the driveshaft)
are in the same plane while the DRIVING yokes are 90 degrees out.
