Default Vibration above 40kmh

Hi last week while driving i felt a major vibration coming from the rear of the car when i was driving above 40kmh, i replaced my diff 3 months ago so my brother thinks its the tailshaft that isn't balanced, does it matter which end of the tailshaft i rotate or does it have to be the diff end?

May want to check the simple stuff too since it started 3 months after the diff:
out of balance wheel
warped brake rotor

I get a bit (not major) of vibration in the colder months, but mine goes away after I drive it for a bit. I am pretty sure mine is just the cold fluid in mine......
