New problem in my '80 245 DL!

This time it's not electrical. My car makes this very loud vibrating noise when I'm going about 45+ mph. Switching the OD on has no effect. Downshifting to 4th has no effect either. The noise goes away when I let off the accelerator. At first I thought it was the tailgate making noise, but this was not the case. (I tightened everything down, no effect, plus it only happens when I accelerate). My next guess would be the bushings.

Could someone explain the function of the bushings a bit? I don't know much about their function. (I'm only skilled slightly, but there's nothing I can't handle on this car once I understand it.)

Any other ideas?
