Visual inspection does not reveil any problems. CV joint boots, driveshaft donuts and center bearing, motor and transmission mounts; all look intakt. That does not mean anything though (the rubber I removed on the 126 subframe looked just as good as the new stuff). Killed the engine, no change. Haven't jacked the rear up jet and take a looksy whith the drive shaft running.

My thinking is that the shaft flutters under no-load conditions and smoothens out when torque is present. The vibration is really all over, but can be felt at the steering wheel. Feels like driving on cobble stone.
