Everybody responding to this has been pointing to the U-joints.
I'm just wondering what's going on, that would lead to the let-

Could worn bushings be part of the problem?  I'm imagining the
diff wobbling up & down as the forces it feels start to come
through from the wheels to the driveshaft, rather than vice versa.
