I had an issue with my 2017 yukon at highway speeds - around 80 mph. I could feel it in my butt. Tires were new and balanced. I pulled the rear driveshaft down and found the axle end u-joint was stiff to move by hand. No corrosion could be seen.

I replaced it and all was good. After I pulled the OEM apart, the bearings were getting dry and rusty. Easy thing to check/fix.

Been there and done that with u-joints.
