Default Intermittent Vibration at 55mph+

I know there is no way to really diagnose the vibration without riding in the car and feeling it, however I am just trying to get some ideas as what to look for when I get it up on a lift. Only happens at around 55+mph and intermittently (every second or so it will vibrate like 3 or 4 times and then stop for a second and start again). Feels like it is consistent and maybe coming from directly under the car. Could it be that all of a sudden my driveshaft is out of round? U-Joints are bad? Rear end is toast?? Any ideas Thanks!

A broken transmission mount, bad u joints, or an oem torque arm that is starting to bend is where I'd look first. Bob
