I had bad U-joints do the same noise and it was when I took them out and
popped off the caps did I see what appeared to be "twisted grooves". It was
particulary noticeable when I had two adults and two kids in the car. The
extra weight resulted in extra torque needed for acceleration. Don't ask me
how I determined to look at the U-joints...I can';t remember because I killed
that brain cell several years ago with beer!

Hi Peter,
I have had universal joints give exactly the symptoms you
describe.To test,disconnect prop shaft to make sure they are not seized and
look for tell tale red rust dust in uj.
