The crosses MUST be aligned in two planes or the halfshafts will pulsate, causing a vibration. Unlike a mis-balenced tire, this vibration will be worse the faster you go. Crosses 45 degrees off is about as bad as it can get, incidently. I think its more inportant that the crosses align than the arrows align. What may have happened in your used axles is, someone took them apart and mixed up the halves; look closely & see if things would be better if the halves were interchanged. If the car does NOT vibrate, the only thing that comes to mind is, the two half-shafts are vibrating exactly out of phase & are cancelling each other, but this cannot be good for tire mileage or component life.
