My 2000 Ford Explorer has a vibration when accelerating between 25 and 45 mph. Tires were checked for slipped or broken belts and tires were balanced. Wheel bearing(hub) was replaced. U-joints were checked and good. What other things could it be?

I'll assume by the year of this thing that you have CV joints on the axles. Check 'em all, make sure they have lube in (the boot isn't ripped or loose) 'em. Also check that these joints aren't worn out & loose or rattly. Bent axle(s), or bent drive shafts? If this thing has been driven hard. The trans might be a trying to tell you something.
Good Luck !

Check motor mounts and trans mounts. Also, recheck the u-joints. A bad u-joint can cause this.
