Does the vibration come and go if it's a long turn? If so it might be that your wheels are badly out of balance. I had that happen to me a lot after a day at the snow track. My wheels would be full of snow and the car would shake horribly. In turns, because one wheel is turning faster than the other, they would get to a point where they would almost cancel out, and then get worse again.

Well what really needs to be described is where the vibration feels like it comming from. If it feels like it could be a drivetrain issue, there are a couple things to look at.

1. Try making very tight close radius turns at very slow speeds. If the rear inner wheel seems to be dragging, there is a good chance the transmission is binding.

2. If it is not binding, I would suggest someone pull the driveshaft out to check the universals for free movement. While it is in the air, check all mounts and also check the front CV's for excessive play in the joints.
