No. tailshaft means the driveshaft from the back of the gearbox, the splined slipjoints and the universals which are the + shaped crosses between the yokes of the driveshaft joints. Even the flange bolts on the diff and gearbox output shaft should be checked. If you had a wheel off, were the wheel nuts tightened in a headstud pattern, so they all end up being tightened down the same. Let the handbrake off and check all the drivetrain for play. Vibration and rumbles can turn out real bad but its only 5 mins to check
I noticed when turning either rear wheel or the driveshaft there seems to be quite a lot of play before the other two start to turn as well. Also how much play should there be in a driveshaft hanger bearing bush?
