Default clank clank clank noise? 55mph d.w.

when i go to accelerate in 5th gear at 45 mph i feel and hear a clank clank clank noise... u-joints maybe? just wanting to confirm

also when i accelerate pretty hard up to 65 mph i get no shake but when i slow down to 55ish it starts shaking. if i run it up to 60 and keep it there its good for about 10-15 sec but than starts wobbling... really stumped on this one... searched and couldnt find too much on this perticular situation.

would the death wobble also be part of this? u-joint aint too bad.. only $16. im just worried about the death wobble and dont want to be breaking down with the front end being sucked under the car.

No that should be a different problem. You might just need an alignment
