What is the phenomenon of vibration seen during acceleration?

It is likely that the previous rubber bushes, which were worn and aged, were effectively dampening the vibrations. With the installation of the polybushes, the vibrations are now perceptible. However, it is plausible that the vibrations were there even before the replacement of the bushes.

The subject of discussion is the 98 300tdi. The subject of discussion is the cultural phenomenon known as disco. Despite continued efforts, there has been no discernible improvement. Curiously, once traversing an additional distance of around 5 km, the vibration subsides momentarily before subsequently resurfacing.
Could this issue be attributed to a wheel balancing problem, resulting in the wheels drifting when the vehicle navigates bends on the road? The speed is around 90 km per hour.
I replaced the rubber components on the driver's side of the vehicle with polyurethane bushings due to the deterioration caused by exposure to diesel oil.
The implementation of novel standard shock absorbers and a steering damper, together the use of polybushes throughout the system, were observed.
University joints: The spline can only be installed in a certain orientation, with white epoxy present in one of the splines and a gap seen in the outer spline.
The white epoxy was not discovered until the grease was removed. Unfortunately, the universities were unable to reach a consensus or agreement.

If the wheels havent been balanced (or you may have lost a balance weight etc) then thats a worthwhile check before you go too far. Exchange the positions of the front and rear.

Have you installed fresh bushes on the panhard rod?
