The driveshaft spins at the same RPM for a given mile per hour. If the vibration is at 40mph under acceleration but not at 40 mph cruise the driveshaft balance doesn't sound like the problem.

It could be a u-joint that's binding under acceleration. Or it could be a misalignment when the pinion angle changes under acceleration. It has to be something that changes when you accelerate.

If a tire is out of balance it shakes at that speed under acceleration or cruise.
