Just throwing this out there but what are your tire pressures??

I was having a vibration that started at 65-75 and couldn't figure it out. Had changed a lot of parts including a worn driveshaft u-joint, hubs etc. No real difference. Tried playing with the pressures and still didn't notice a difference since I wasn't going low enough. When I finally noticed when driving through a dirt road that the center on the tires were making contact while the edges weren't. That was at 65lbs. Dropped them to 45lbs and it's been pretty good since.

I'm running 65 all around. Weird to think that tire pressure would do that for such a small speed range.

It's amazing that sometimes the dumbest, simplest crap could be the cause of something major and elusive

It can't hurt to try it and the best part is that it's FREE.

I'm running 315's on 10x16 rims and only have 50psi in my tires that is what has given me the most even tire wear of all the pressure settings I tried.
