Negative vibrations, mon - Part 2 200 1988

My '88 240DL, 531,000 miles, TME Springs, HD Bils, full poly bushings, adjustable panhard rod, adjustable torque rods, upper and lower chassis braces. Corners like it's on rails, rides smooth, but I get vibration at 70-75 mph that rattles my rear view mirror.

Tailshaft bushing is tight, u-joints are not bound and were recently changed. Front wheel bearings are new, tires are good.

I have a driveline whine and the center bearing / bushing is OK. The whine will stop if I take my foot off the gas pedal and coast. The whine appears to be coming from the differential.

My plan is:

1. Remove the driveshaft and have it balanced.
2. Replace the rear wheel bearings - they are original and while up on the jackstands, there is a slight elipitical pattern in the center of the wheel during acceleration.
3. If 1 and 2 don't work, add an amp to my stereo system and crank it up enough to drown out the driveline whine..

anyone have other ideas?

Thanks for your time.....

'88 240DL - 531,000 original miles, original owner, original engine and second tranny.
