It looks like the bent driveshaft is rubbing on that chassis brace. The easiest way of finding where the bends in the shaft when I've had this issue, is to find something to roll the driveshaft down, where the dog bone ends are off the ground. Like the little pockets on your blue mat. Roll it along, and you'll see the wobble. Mark it with a pen that you can easily see against the finish, and then do what you did with the 2 pairs of mole grips. Then repeat, repeat, and repeat, until it's as straight as you can get it. Not teaching you to suck eggs, I hope. 😉👍🏻

you have to remove the entire chassis to bend it back or else it will be a pita.
