Pull the front shaft and see if it goes away, else its something else. Easiest way is to just unbolt it at the diff and type it up somewhere. Make sure you stay in 2WD.

You might have a bad shock. The shocks on the Heep are adjustable, when I set them too soft I get a minor vibe in the back at speed. But once stiffened up, the vibe goes away.
