Have you thought about changing the driveshaft?
It sounds like something is out of balance,and the driveshaft is making the Diff blow seals or bearings.
check the whole Back end while you are at it,.There is Stuff(like the camber link) that is not really visible by just looking under the car,You need to jack it up and inspect it,hands on.

I don't even know how you are breaking diff mounts on an 87 NA automatic. Something must be very wrong. When the front diff mount fails, what happens? What is the condition of the rear diff mounts?
In what condition are the engine and transmission mounts?
