A parts shop suggested I don't know about the joint but have you looked at the axle shaft? It may be slightly bent. I had a rabbit convertible several years ago and it had a vibration I could not find. Eventually I found that the right axle shaft was bent. It seems the previous owner(s) had it was towed one time and it was hooked up to the shaft. I found that it was about less then 1/8 inch bent in the middle but enough to cause a vibration at any speed.
