Stevo, this sounds like axle wear. The mention of accelerating and making a turn makes me think along those lines.
I had an axle on mine that started to leak and I think the vibration I was feeling wasn't in the driveshaft, as I assumed originally, but from the worn axle. Others, on the forum, have mentioned a clicking noise at stops. However, I never noticed this.
When I jacked the rear of the car to inspect the leaking, I noticed that the worn axle had a different "bend" at the CV joint boot. Then, when I removed the axle, there was considerable play. I didn't have a helper to turn the wheel while watching so I'm not sure how visible it may be on the car.
