Check your u-joints, if they are good, pull the driveshaft and rotate 180 degrees and see if that helps.

Thanks for reply... so i checked u joints all good no binding... driveshaft has been balanced recently. So. i feel i have somewhat pin pointed the vibration the speed range is between 60-70mph. it isnt that bad when i am on the gas at those ranges, but the SECOND i let off the gas in that range i get intense shake feels like it is directly below where i am siting, it continues to vibrate until it roughly is below 60 65mph. what else could be wrong.... did my preload lossen, i set it on the high side 18-21 inch pounds in that range. i used a new nut, and also loctite. is it a carrier bearing/axle bearing ring and pinion. Its only REALLY bad on deceleration, not so much on the gas. did i set preload to high?. it says set preload 14-19 inch pounds for the chrysler rear 9.25 axle?.. did i screw up somewhere there?

I forgot to mention that when it is vibrating on the decel then i push in the gas the vibration greatly diminishes..
