Rear wheels vibrate and feel as if they're braking

Ford F-150 2005  100000 miles
Around 15 minutes after starting my truck, when turning around slowly or reversing, the rear wheels vibrate and feel as if they were stuck or braking. It does the same if I'm going uphill, and it's easy to notice how they vibrate and "jump" around. The cardan, differential, brakes and discs were checked, but the problem is still there.

I have a similar problem, when the truck warms up the reverse starts shaking, I don't know what it could be since there are no broken sensors

Noise when accelerating hard, but not while doing it slowly

Ford F-150 2007  10000 miles
When I accelerate a little hard there is a thumping noise, but there is none if I do it slowly. I already changed the bracket where the wheels are attached, the differential was checked and everything seems alright. Somebody told me it might be the gearbox mounting, could it be?

Your trucks problem could be the grease that came from the factory on the slip yoke, it might need to be greased again and you won't hear that thumping noise again, that happens with the Ford trucks with double cardan.
