    I've done multiple searches on here to figure out what my problem might be and I'm very confused. I am experiencing vibrations when accelerating between 20 and about 65. Really bad at 30+. However, when I let off the gas, it stops. I feel it in the seat and steering wheel. I've always heard a moaning sound when accelerating below 30, but the vibes just started.

    After doing searches, I can't figure if it is a driveshaft issue, trans mount, tires, or springs. I have a '07 TRD Sport access cab with 86,000 miles.

    Any help in diagnosis would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for your response. It does feel like a tire issue. But, only on acceleration. When I let off the gas, it stops. I think if it were a tire problem, it would continue when I let off the gas. It feels as if I'm driving on those rumble strips on the side of the highway.

    ***UPDATE***

    It was 2 bad u-joints. Luckily, a cheap fix. Center bearing was fine. Thanks.
