Question Rear end shaking on downshift!

the other day i took off hard from a light and shifted hard into second and got a bit of wheel hop. and now i notice that when i shift down the rear of the car shakes. not really hard but hard enough to know for sure it wasnt there before.

any idea of what the shaking could be. im gonna check the U joints. but any other ideas on what it night be. im hoping its not the rear.

Check your torque arm mount, I had something similar to that and my torque arm mount was busted up.
