When i get off the gas almost all the way, i get a really bad vibration at about 55+mph, it goes away if i push the gas down a little bit or i get off compleatly, also if i put it in nutral it will vibe. any ideas what it might be?
i was thinking maby a carb issue, but it still dose it in nutral, what about tie rods or wheel bearings? i think my bearings need packed, and i think i need new tie rods...

sounds like a u-joint going out, or a loose yoke on the rear end

I agree....u-joint on drive shaft.....more than likely the rear.

i was told that it might be a prob in the diff. i got 4 new tires, they guy said that my passenger side inner tie rod is a little loose and i need new strut rod bushings, but he didnt have time to look at the u-joints, any ideas of what else can be wrong, when im going at low speeds i hear a little "thunk" every once in a wile if i tap the gas?

get under the car and see if the front u-joint is loose. just grab the driveshaft and twist it back and forth. if the driveshaft moves you have found your problem.
