'93 302 Bad vibration

Above 30 mph I get a really bad vibration that feels like a bad tire,only that has been taken care of. I have exhausted all my possibilities.Anyone have with experience with a worsening vibration that is elusive?

Check your universal joints on the rear driveshaft. I had the same problem and I "thought" I had checked the U-joint properly. I ended up at a mechanic's shop, he drove the Bronco and said U-joint. The U-joint was indeed tight without and slop, in fact one cup had seized up completely causing a binding action. The better way to check this is to have the vehicle lifted (AND WELL SUPPORTED) and visually inspect the shaft as it is turned by hand. The BEST way to check it is remove the shaft and check the cups and needle bearings.

This is my best guess.
