It sounds VERY likely that the half-shaft inner driver cups are worn. This is evidenced by worse vibration on acceleration. It could also be that one of the tripod bearings in the driver cup has failed. I have seen this happen and the vibration was very bad.
You can check this by jacking up the front axles by placing the jack under the a-frame so that you are keeping the half-shaft as level as possible, while still getting the wheel off the ground. Then rotate the wheel while holding the inner driver cup and checking for play. The passenger side usually wears out first. You may have to pull out the half-shaft from the driver cup if you feel play. You mileage would also be a clue that a driver cup or bearing is worn or has failed.
