Yep, could be driveline out of balance, could just be a bad u-joint, could be a bad yoke. Any of those will cause vibrations. You should do a visual check of the driveline and check the u-joints. You can get the driveline checked and balanced at any drivetrain shop if you think it's needed.

Then again, it could be a tire out of balance...

Good luck.
