take it to a driveline shop and get them to check uni's and tailshaft first then look into harmonics

my brother had similar and he replaced the engine mounts which helped plenty, and remember its a diesel they shutter a bit when slow and under load.

You sure it's not just the nobly tyres when you go slow? Mine used to do it with the claws, but not anymore.

My GQ developed a severe front end vibration between 60-70 k's which would almost rip the steering wheel out of my hands. Changed the Panhard Rod bushes and problem was fixed. One hours work and $60.00 fixed it and its been OK for nearly 12 months. You will need some kind of press to remove and replace the bushes.
