Yes it is greased weekly will check lube for rear slip on driveshaft and try what you said the shocks are only three months old but I will check them

Does anyone think just to be safe change worn or bad bushings on the front end that I haven't replaced yet such As control are and ball joints?

Id check the motor mounts and also the transmission mount too. noise can often be coming from somewhere else than where you think it is. i had a bad motor mount one time on the passenger side and at take off the motor would raise and drop, sounded like it was something in the passenger front end but ended up being the motor mount.

I didnt see where anyone suggested balljoints. Dude take the vehicle to a tire center and pay them $30 or whatever they charge to check it out.

As far as the motor mounts go just grab a wrench and make sure all the volts are tight. I just replaced the three on the right side of mine cause they broke off at the block. I think the above poster was referring to the rubber bushing in the mount itself. I have heard they dryrot and deteriorate rather often.
