This is a drive line symptom usually. Either the driveshaft has worn or frozen U-joints or possibly the guibo (flex disc) is bad or the center bearing on the drive shaft is shot.

Good Luck,

The guy answering you earlier may well be right about it being the drive shaft ir associated bits, but another option to look it is front wheel bearings. These give a growling sort of vibration as they start to go.
