G'day, scrapes wont do a thing but a dent might be able to slightly put it out of balance. Have you checked the rear uni to see if its got any movement, thatll definately do it..
Jabber gone. Now have 98 nissan terrano and a 94 4.2ldiesel rv troopy on 33s slowly getting the fancy bits. How the hell do I change my user name?

There are small weights tacked onto the drive shaft which are used to balance the shaft. Is it possible that you have knocked one of these off? If the vibration has occurred since you hit the drive shaft, then you would have to assume that it is related! I would remove the shaft and have it balanced!

Hope this helps

Id say for sure your tail shaft is out of balance due to the hit . If your lucky a balance will fix it , about $80.
