I've read that driveshaft runout of 0.004" to 0.005" is OK for street use, but you're ten times that. I'd say you may have found your source.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

A lot of drive line vibration comes from untimed, unaligned U joints---- does yours vibrate on acceration or does it get worse with speed???
