I've read about people doing that. Another approach that seemed good, at least for checking out the drive line, was to put the car on a lift, rear wheels in the air. Run it up to speed and use a strobe light to to have a look. The strobe supposedly makes it easy to see components jumping around.

I'm considering finding a local shop that has that system of mics to position around the car and take a reading while at speed, then use software to localize the source of the vibration. What's it called? I wonder how much it might cost.
