My 2005 Jeep Liberty idles smooth and quietlly; however, when accelerating there are vibrations that feel to be coming from the drive train (underneath). The problem is most noticeable when going from 2nd to 3rd gear and 3rd gear to 4th. I recently had the fuel injection system cleaned. I purchased the car with 33K miles and not too sure what maintenance was done previously - I don't know whether a tune-up was ever performed (I have not had one done since owning it). My oil change place, Valvoline Instant Oil, has been telling me for the past several changes that I need to change my front and rear differntials - I have not done so. This vibration is really worrying me and is annoying - please help!

you could have a problem with the u joints. or a tranny mount could be the culprit, it must be inspected to determine what the problem is
