Those clamp things are helper springs. Which actually help lol. And the drum came off fairly easily.

Wow! Those springs are like inverted, even w/ the helpers.

The frequency of the vibration would determine if it was driveline or wheel related.

But by looking at the springs, I would say it is in the driveline, because the angles of the ujoints are not equal.

Just a guess, considering I'm at the other end of the state.
