If it's an automatic tranny, the rear transmission bushing might be worn. It's not an unusual problem as the miles accumulate -- I've done several of my 240s at around 200k miles, or so.....

Any oil seepage at the rear tranny seal?

You can usually tell by shoving the d-shaft back-'n-forth at the tranny and listening for "clunks" or feeliung for excess lateral play where the output flange enters the transmission.

Driveshafts themselves almost never go out of balance. The last time I balanced a Volvo d-shaft was in 1977 when I shortened the stock shaft to mate to an OD transmission ('75 245).
