Vibration/wobble from rear

Hi guys ,

just took my new project up the road (1985 5.0TPI TA) and noticed that there is a harsh wobble coming from the drivetrain even at low speeds (especially when under load) is there anywhere which is a common weak point on these?

any help would be great

Check that your axle flanges are not bent.

Check your trans mount. If it is broken it will move under acceleration and make you think something is broken.

Check your tires and make sure they don't have a broken belt..
