With an assistant, hatch off, drive through that speed range and observe the axle shafts for any eliptical (out of round) motion. If the needle bearings on the inner joint have failed the shaft can run off center and bind as far as free in and out telescopic motion. This will bind and cause the entire powertrain to waddle on it's mounts. Also inspect the pass side support bearing to be sure the 3 bolts are snug. Also inspect that the flange bolts are all present on both axle to final drive flanges. These can come loose if not installed correctly and cause excentric motion before failure.
