Something Stupid i did :/
I was driving home, and decided to run the car up past 100 ( wanted to see how it did .. bought it a little while ago)
It did fine, I let of the gas and booom* HUGE VIBRATION( and sound like a bunch of rocks in a can) all of a sudden,.. its like the car is shaking itself apart. Now, under 20 mph it didnt do it and i just got it home.
the car was sitting for a while before i bought it. Ill have a chance to look at it in more depth tomorow but
For now opinions, Is it possible one of the clips/etc on the u joint let loose?
I havent Pulled the cover on the rear yet, But tomorow i plan 2
btw guys car has a 10 bolt/700r4/350tpi ( 88 gta)

turns out one of the caps for the u joint let loose, and the u joint cap/bearing on one side was gone.. with gouge marks etc
So that would be it lmao
I threw a spare driveshaft i had from another car in, Car is fine now!
