OK let's see how well I can explain this. I own a 96 4runner 2.7 manual tranny 2wd. I'm having a vibration in the drive line causing the who car to vibrate. It only happens on the highway around 50mph and up. Vibrates while under load but stops once I let off the gas. So perfectly fine cruising at 70mph. But if I put it neutral cruising at 70mph the vibration is worse then in 5th gear. Ujoints were replaced a few months ago and still solid. Anyone experienced this or have any insight?

I had the same problem which was caused by a bad rear ujoint. Maybe the replacement you got wore out quickly? Hopefully someone else has better insight on this, but best of luck!

Had similar experience and replaced rear u-joint like you already did. I still have some vibration and was told it is likely from the double cardan joint at the front of the shaft end, which most shops won't rebuild. Instead they opt for a newly built shaft, which is $$$
