Only thing i can think of is if it has lost the balance weight off the o/s drive shaft, it looks a bit like a doughnut about half way along the shaft

what size wheels are on the car, the 19s are common to buckle

agree with the 19's buckling etc as they are soft as st. it wont be the drive shaft balnce weight as it use's a equal length set up and it dont use one on it like the old cavs etc.
