No, I have checked the driveshaft and the weights are still there.

It is an automatic and has a solid shaft.

I have pulled the backplate off of the differential to check things out there. Everything looks good. About the only thing I haven't really had a look at are the axle bearings. Because of the lack of any noise, I have just figured that they were probably alright. Now, having checked out everything else that I can think of, I'm thinking about pulling them.

I forgot to mention, that the rear end shudders when I let up on the gas and decelerate as well as when the brakes are applied. It sure has me puzzled and to say the least frustrated.
