You might even be able to see the u-joints. But the @ speed test is a good call

I had a similar vibration recently as well. It popped up on the first test drive. I could've sworn it was the wheel bearings as they had been fucked with by the previous owner that I got the 5 lug swap parts car from. So I swapped the wheel bearings. Vibration persisted. I blamed my friend for giving me a bad TII driveshaft. So we swapped that out. Still there, now I'm pissed to the point of seeing red. I had swapped in the Torsen and set the backlash myself so I knew that was good. I rebuilt the axles so those should've been fine, so in a fit of rage we swapped my rear end out. Vibration gone. The vibe must be in the pinion area. Seemed OK when I checked it out, the spermburper that sold it to me said it was in great shape, I guess I can't complain too much becuase I got an entire TII rear end, subrame, arms and a few spare axles for $200.

Anyway, check the driveshaft, axles and wheel bearings. Worst case it's in the diff. Mine is going to KDR to be repaired/setup next week.
