during acceleration there i feel vibration between 40 and 60 mph, and then equalizes after that. im thinking its eaither my warn suspension or my drive shaft. my speculation about my suspension maybe so because when a make a deep turn (as if im making a u turn) there is a loud clicking sound coming from my right side. i dont know what part of the suspension that is. my speculation about vibration while acceleration is because i felt it violantly one day and i say that 2 bolts where missing from the U joint, and the other 2 where ready to go. i replaced the two bolt that where missing and tightened the other 2. all 4 are still there, but still there is vibration. please bestow me with ur wisdom,:icon_surp

Check the rear section of the driveshaft and make sure the Unijoints are in line.

A friend at work had the same type of vibrations in his old GMC pickup. Turned out to be driveshaft u-joint.

Clunking sound in sharp turns is probably a lower ball joint. Alignment/mechanic shop can check it for you, and it's fairly simple to replace. Could also be any of the control arm bushings, but they're nowhere near as easy to replace.
