Vibration question

I have a slight vibration coming from the engine I think. At highway speeds the car has a vibration but if you put the car in nueteral the vibratuion goes away. Leave it in nueteral and rev the engine no vibration. What would cause vibration only under load....

Out of ballance drive shaft....auto or standard? if it's an automatic it does not hurt to check the torque converter bolts.

I also have this problem ...and it's most notable under heavy accelleration -- but it almost totally disappears under cruising speeds. I just replaced all the U-joints, so I am a little hesitant to think those ...

Any way to confirm drive shaft or a transverse shaft is out of balance?
