I've just sent out a long description of what I've found out about the
rear of my Spit, but this message reminded me that in addition to everything
else, some ditz who had worked on the car in its past had managed to put
one longer bolt (i.e. 3 short bolts and 1 long bolt) holding the driveshaft
to the differential flange. So my driveshaft *had* become unbalanced for
some reason.
