Triumph Spitfire Rear End Vibration

We’ve been looking at a Spitfire that has a vibration coming from the rear end.  I asked Dean if the vibration was standard equipment.  He didn’t answer so I guess not.  Here is the car.

So, what was the problem? Well, there is a flange on the halfshaft. That flange was bent. Bent flange leads to vibration. New halfshaft with round flange = vibration goes away. Experience sure is handy.
