when pulling away with medium throttle i get a rear end wobble?
light throttle and heavy throttle are fine. ive changed the driveshafts and the diff had a a new mount about two years ago. i visually checked the guibo and center bearing mount on the propshaft but cant see any problems. The gearbox does have a problem changing from first to second when cold but i dont think thats related.
any ideas?

Rear beam bushes would be the top priority.

rear beam bushes were replaced with polybushes about four years ago.
the trailing arm bushes have never been replaced though.

i would def replace your trailing arm bushes and check your beam bushes at the same time. also how old are your springs and dampers? did you do ARB bushes and drop links?

spings and dampers were replaced a few years ago, also the roll bar and droplinks were replaced last year.
i have noticed the problem is there (intermitently) in second gear aswell but feels more like a judder than a wobble.

My Parking brake springs were corroded and snapped causing intermittent locking of one wheel and a serious wobble....
