Update
Replaced u-joint several weeks ago, old one was actually just fine...vibration was still there...
Yesterday was able to determine rear axle is the issue, although attempts to remove hubs were unsuccessful...we used the correct tools, didn't get around to using any heat however...but with axle safely supported and front wheels chocked, we ran it in 1st & reverse, noise prominent on drivers side, in axle tube, only slight noise at banjo, but a definite vibration with each rotation of wheel...
Time for rear axle rebuild!!

Thanks for everyone's input, an Dan for your help!

Any Info on NorCal shops doing axle work, pls PM me, thanks...
