Vibes when I hit 70, but always did that. And the drive shaft seal on the back of the diff is leaking like the drive shaft is bouncing around beating it up

Umm not sure, I'm thinking my control arms might not be adjusted to the right lengths, messing up the angles, in turn throwing it out

Took the drive shaft out, noise stopped so its definitely the problem. Had to take it out to drive to Maine this morning. When I put it back in I'll post a video
