Default '92 vibration problem

While I was cruising down the interstate today at 65mph I went to accelerate at half throttle. When I did that my something in my rear-end started vibrating. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

You need to supply more info if possible. Vibration could be caused by many things... Tire wear, tire balance, universal joint (as stated above), etc...

When was the last time you put lube in your rear end?

I have only had my car for 2 weeks now. It also has 80,000 miles on it so I would also like to know some things I might need to replace cause the car is stock.

Thanks

All the fluids. Oil, trans, power steering, rear end, etc, etc. If you take the rear end cover off you can see what the oil looks like and if there are flakes or metal pieces, we can tell what your next job will be.
