Thanks for the feedback.  If the roads in Colorado had such a device
designed, we would think them the smoothest possible.  However, the 
vibration occurs only with slightly more than moderate brake, begins to
be noticeable around 50 mph, and then is continuous down to stop.  

We have reduced the rumble considerably by re-packing and re-seating the
rear bearings, and I discovered during recent slick road spells that the
'limited-slip' isn't limited any more.  All of which points my analysis
further into the IRS.  Our local dealer will have replacement parts next
week, he says, so I should finally have a decision.

This is really a great place to find out about ALL kinds of problems.
