Default 95 XJ Broken Rear Spring Symptoms

My 95 XJ has bad rear springs. One in particular is really messed up.
Can this cause excessive vibration that appears to be drive train vibration. No one can seem to figure out why there is so much vibration under load. The only thing visably wrong is bad springs.

So, if the rear is saging due to broken springs, then the thrust angle in the rear differential can be off?
Maybe this is why I get vibration in the driveline?

I've had bad leaf spring bushings cause some pretty good wheel hop when letting off the clutch from a stop. Felt like really bad clutch chatter, but it was just one wheel hoping around. Anything loose or worn out on your suspension can cause vibrations...
