Difficult to imagine what could cause a speed-related vibration that is 
faster that wheel-wobble vibration.  Implies something is going round faster

than the wheels, which could be the prop-shaft.  A regular vibration like 
that should be easy to separate from something like a surface-induced 
vibration, and a seized damper should be even easier to determine, simply 
press down on each corner of the car and see if it moves or not.
