Default is this normal for my D.S. and torque arm?

ive been trying to located my problem with vibration during high speeds hoping that these can be my culprits.. attached are pics of driveshaft. is that space between the driveshaft into the tranny normal, seems to be short (m6) or should it be flush agaist the tranny over the rubber piece there and the torque arm bushing seems to be broke or cracked to me.

also is the tranny muont supposed to be hollow. i was looking at my tranny mount and saw that the driver side is hollow and the pass. side has a rip in it like it was just eccesive rubber. and towards the front of the mount there is a slight rip going down half way not that bad though.

any comments on these would be great

thanks in advance

Stock torque arm bushing is a two-piece design. Your's looks normal.

Stock driveshaft looks to be fine also. There is usually about a 1/2 inch of the shaft showing.

Tranny bushing....I don't know...I can't see it in the pics.

9 times out of 10 a high speed vibration is from a rotating mass....either the wheels/tires or the driveshaft itself. I replaced my stock driveshaft with one from Denny's and it eliminated the drivetrain vibration I was having.
Now my problem is in a wobbly rim that will need to be replaced/repaired. I was able to see the wheel problem on the chassis dyno.
You could also check the pinion angle to make sure it is correct.

I had this problem too, it turned out to be my crush sleeve and rear axle bearings. I had a whining sound with mine though.
