If left unchecked IE you don't speed up or slow down to change the harmonics then they can be violent enough to shake the entire car quite severely, certainly enough to scare your pucker valve into slamming shut.
I had a case of death wobbles on my Tray Back that were significantly more violent than the gnarliest corro's I have ever driven on.
The vehicle was frightening at anything like a constant speed between 75 to 85 KPH but happy to sit below or above that speed

Reminds me of my first car GMH_FC '59 stat wagon, trying out my first eng swap "red motor 179" and tail shaft was out of balance but vibration smoothed at out speed haha.
Comes down to form fit and function.

Why so much rear steer?
Are you tightening the bolts right up before you put all the body weight on them?

Nah I tighten the at ride weight. The left side had fully collapsed and that made the rear diff out of alignment. It would drive ok but had a really twitchy ass. Was thinking it might have been my front end actually as I didn't expect those bushes to be wrecked. Like my caster mysteriously went to shit.
Put the factory arms back in ( so nearly dumped them a heap of times!!) And it's much better.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Did not see that!!! I probably did see that when I bought them and figured they would be ok. Will see if I get a response from them via eBay for sure!
