A driveline problem causing a vibration is a much higher frequency vibration
than a tire, rotor, hub imbalance problem.

Remember that your driveline is turning 3 or 4 times as fast as your wheels
and judge accordingly.

If you can't be pretty sure, drop the rear driveline and drive with only the
other. That should tell you for sure.
