Default Shaking at high speeds in the rear end

Ok my 94 Z has a shake at 85+ on the highway, most noticeably from 5th to 6th shifts, it feels like the driveshaft or the rear end is shaking. Today I just did a pinion seal, and output shaft seal along with new royal purple in the rear end. The gears you can tell have gotten hot, as they are dark, but I am unsure if this would make it shake, like possibly the pinion nut not being tight enough, granted i went an extra 1/8 turn when i tightened it. Or bearings being shot, and a overhaul kit in order.

I also read on here maybe having the stock driveshaft re balanced, anyone ever had this happen?

Oh, it does sort of make a whop noise when it shakes, but normal driving it does not shake, howl, or chatter at all.

Sounds like the shaft is out of balance, could also be a joint going bad
