I tried it with wheels and tires, with just bare wheels, thinking it was a balance issue (it's not) and without any wheels mounted. the problem does not appear to be a mechanical interference but just a vibration that gets worse with something mounted larger than the hub.
This is a real problem as I have noticed that the car sometimes spins out under acceleration and I can hear a distinct "rattle" sound as it starts to loose grip. I think the sound I hear is actually from this vibration and not a belt skipping or the rear diff slipping.
If anybody has found a solution to this oscillation, please share your findings. I will do the same.
I had the same problem. It in fact broke the alm. dog bones after a half of a pack. What I did was align the outdrives on the spool, I had them offset 90deg. after I put them in line No more chatter

. Also i put the k-factory steel drive shafts. Also check the rear diff for "rattle" I had mine just a tab loose and I got the same noise.
