Default vibration 45mph-65mph

I know this has probably been asked and answered but I just wanted some fresh feedback. I have a 98 4.6, just replaced lower ball joints and had an alignment 3 months ago and had to replace pass. Cv axle 1 month ago. Can't figure it out, I'm running Cooper discovery stt if that helps. Any info would be helpful.

Do you feel vibration just within the steering or can you feel it through out the whole body on a scale of 1-5, 5 being rough shakes and you can even hear some sort of noise, what would you rate it?

If its the same I have a 97 4.6 and was shaking when I would do between 50-60 only when I was on the gas pedal. Mine ended up just being the U joints and it rides like a new truck now lol.

Ive read that a clogged differential breather line and/or the viscosity of the diff fluid has broken up causing the clutches in the limited slip to cause the symptoms you are having.
