 To me, yes, it does appear that the shaft wobbles a bit. :(

Long story short: late last year I removed the rear axles in my 73 GT6 so a
shop could renew the bearings. I put them back in and drive it for a few
months. Today I had the car on stands for another reason when I saw this bad
wobble in the left shaft (see YouTube video).  Doesn't it look like the shaft
is bent?  I didn't hit anything with it.
