tailshaft goes between the output of the gearbox and the diff.

driveshaft goes from the diff to the hubs/wheels :) There's two of them in our cars. :)

Yea they have become interchangeable for a while now. Keith is technically correct though. However, is he legally correct? lol

the "drive shafts" that Keith refers to, is what I have always called the axles. Even back in RSA we called it axles.

As long as well know what I am referring to, all is sweet.

yep, realistically, any "driveshaft" is a shaft that provides driveline force. Any shaft that provides (or allows) the same direction of rotation directly to a wheel can be called an "axle", realistically.

 

The terms I used above are ones used in the service manual for these cars and ones people on this forum use, for the sake of clarity.

I put stiff bushes in my car and it didn't cause any tailshaft vibration. 

 

I replaced my uni joint and it picked up some vibration. Hardy Spicer, the uni joint manufacturer, recommends getting the tailshaft balanced after install. 

 

On my car there are plastic things, presumably for balancing, attached to the tailshaft bolts at the diff. I dunno if they are on fg models but it could be something to consider.
