Default vibration when decelerating

Hi, just bought a 2001 camaro and it test drove fine. Took it about 300 miles and started noticing a bad vibration around 60mph when decelerating or at a constant speed. If I get on the gas, it goes away, but the faster I get up to, the worse the vibration is on deceleration. Replaced the U joints and that didn't fix it. It's not the tires. Any ideas?

I have the same problem and no one can pinpoint it. Does it vibrate at higher rpms when you have it in park also?

Same issue here. Mine is ok until about 70-75. At 95 it feels horrible.

Is this only when decelerating? Does this only happen when you are on the brakes or does it also do it when you are coasting?

It vibrates when letting off the gas, or staying at a constant speed above 2000 rpm. There's vibration under that speed but when it hits 2000 it gets much worse. Braking doesn't increase or decrease the vibration. I replaced U joints, driveshaft, and wheel bearings. Put it up on jacks and took the wheels off, same vibration. Took the driveshaft off, same vibration. It vibrates in park and neutral.

correction, up on the jacks there is a vibration in park and neutral, but its not nearly as bad as the vibration in drive.(same RPMs)
