Vibrations under load are often caused by wear in the inner CV joints or an imbalance in the drive shaft. It is important to check these components if the vibrations occur specifically when accelerating.

For the Ford Escort Classic, many outer CV joints are supplied with a pre-fitted ABS ring, but this varies between items. Check the product description carefully to see what is included.

A drive shaft can last for the entire lifespan of the car provided the boots remain intact. It is usually the joints that wear out rather than the shaft itself, as long as they are protected from dirt and moisture.
