Center Support Bearing and Vibration Question

I did a search and could find very little on this topic. I have been trying to determine what is causing the vibration on my Tacoma at around 60mph.

I have been blaming the tires, but I want to rule out other possibilities. I am pretty sure it is not the rotors. It seems to brake OK.

From reading posts here, some have indicated driveshaft issues as a cause.

This weekend I got under the truck and poked around. I couldn't determine much. I wasn't too sure on what to look for. I looked at the drivehsafts and the u-joints, I wiggled the driveshafts around, especially at the joints. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary-to me anyway.

I also wiggled the driveshaft at the center support bearing and there is some freeplay. It moves around noticeably in the rubber insulator. Could this be the problem? I have no idea how much freeplay should be there. Is some freeplay normal or should it be tight without hardly any at all?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
