Going Nuts need some help

I have a 2002 Explorer 4x4 that I have sunk almost 2K into the last few months. We had to have the Solenoid asy replaced,plate, and control asy in the trans replaced and a bunch of other odds and ends done. Anyways now when you get up to around 60mph and take your foot off the gas it feels like the rear end is bucking, kind of like tapping the brakes but I am pretty sure it not the rear brakes ( all new rotor, pads and stuff) give it gas and it goes away. it only does this around 50 to 60 mph Does anyone have any ideas? This was my 1st Ford and Im about to say my last.

How can you tell if they are bad? At slower speeds it does not do it at all.

Pull the shaft and work the joint, if loose, chunky or stiff change them
