Would like to know if this is normal because it certainly doesn't feel or look right. When I have my handbrake up and I roll the rear wheels by hand or try to. Because it has the handbrake up the whole diff tends to wanna roll and it does this by flexing the leaf springs.
I am worried about the connection of the diff with tail shaft and overall what happens when I drive. Is this a safety issue and how can it be fixed.
To be honest everything looks normal but I just don't think it should flex so much.

Sounds like you may have a broken spring.  They can break just near the u bolts.
 
Good luck

I have had a look at the springs without removing them as you cannot see their condition where the centre bracket is. They seem fine. Not really keen to remove the whole diff to check if a spring is broken. Wondering if it could be anything else. I was thinking, if the spring was broken, wouldnt the car sag?
