I noticed this Friday night.
It starts to vibrate at 50 MPH and up.
It feels like it's in the rear.
It's ONLY doing it when I'm on the gas, I let off going down a hill and it drives as smooth as it always did.
Could it be the U joints?
What about the balancer on the drive shaft?
I can't get under the car until tomorrow to check it out, so I was just wanting to get some advise from you guy's before tomorrow.
Thanks

Check the bolts holding the driveshaft to the

Well guys,
I got it on the lift today.
The drive shaft is OK, as is the balancer and bolts.
I did notice that the left front tire is worn REAL bad on the inside.
My boss said that it was probably the cause of the vibration.
I think it could be causing some of it, but I don't think that it would cause vibration worse when on the gas.
I rotated the tires and set the alignment.
Hopefully the tires I just put on front won't end up like the one I took off!
I'm gonna have to get 1 new tire.
Anyway, what else would make it vibrate when on the gas?
It rides smooth when I let off.
I checked the wheel bearings and they are OK too.
