Hello!
In addition to already mentioned wheels that need balancing, it is also possible that a prop-shaft flex joint is worn out,. You have one at gearbox end, and another on diff side.
Hope that helps.

Bent wheels is my guess. My dealership lifted the car and observed the bent wheels.
RTW WHEELS (on line) has refurbished wheels for like $150. I bought two and they exceeded my expectations. And no more vibration!

If it is bent wheels they can tell you. And the place I listed is state of the art. The wheels are OEM and looked like new. I didn’t have high hopes, but was extremely impressed.
