Just a guess. Check your rear suspension bushes.

Sounds like its road wheel speed related.
Engine ok as an assumption.

Check the wheels are not loose or a wheel balance weight has not detached.

Also, check the wheels for dents or buckling that would drive an out of balance shake.

Check the driveline bolts & prop guibo coupling are tight & not breaking up.

The above could also make exhaust heat shields above rear & intermediate mufflers tizz.

Cheers
Farrell

Sounds to me like the carrier bearing is going out. Before the rubber bushing that holds the bearing completely disconnects it will shake/wobble in low rpm high torque conditions. This is my experience anyway. I would do a visual inspection of the carrier bearing along with guibo like farrell said.
