Can running two different offset wheels on the rear be the reason im getting vibration when accelerating above 90? Been chasing this vibration for a while now its starting to do my head in

Tailshafts bolt up to the diff 1 way only.

Might have a look at the wheel bearings and check the runout. Thanks for your thoughts. Wish me luck

The vibration is upon acceleration only. Not deceleration or when coasting. If it was a wheel balance or bearing problem wouldnt throttle position have nothing to do with it?
