Hehe, I didn't say I bent the frame! Actually, considering the abuse, I think it's holding up rather well.

I checked out everything in the suspension. Boots look fine, bushings and whatnot look fine, spring looks fine. However, if I grab the center of the axle with some vise grips, I can turn it ever so slightly without the ends turning. If I turn the drum, the outside edge of the drum will move about 1/8ths of an inch before the axle will spin.

So, I'm thinking that the inner and outer CV joints are worn, and those two stacked up are causing the vibration on acceleration. Sound like a logical conclusion?
