Maybe a half shaft issue though, as that is slower than the prop and off centre would more likely cause a fore and aft rocking?

As the diff ratio is about 3.5:1 the prop shaft will be spinning 3.5 times faster than the wheels....


At 20mph, about 8m/s =

wheels / half shafts / hubs / diff input etc about 4 revs per sec

prop / gearbox output about 14 revs per sec
