Acceleration vibrations, FIXED! - CV drive axles. Options

[samir0189]

Quite recently I've have this vibration, where the entire car shakes once I'm doing greater than 50+mph in gears 3-5(duh), ONLY during acceleration. Its really weird. I intend to get my wheel balances checked soon, although I have my doubts as this being the shaking stops if i coast/brake at the same speeds. There are no issues with turning etc, as I try not to at 70mph.

Also the problem sometimes disappears for short periods of time, and just that, the vibrating stops! Very odd.

I have had my motor mounts changed recently, for the record. Any suggestions?

I had a problem like this for almost two years, but mine started around 40 m.p.h. and it was loud too. It drove me nuts! (aw man, what an awful pun..) I took it everywhere, replaced my wheel bearings, had my axles rebuilt, rotated, balanced, and replaced tires: all with no luck! Recently I had my transmission and differential replaced and now the noise and the vibration is gone. My friend who did the work said one of the bearings where the axle goes into the differential was all crazy kinds of worn out. But come to think of it, the vibration did get worse with acceleration and was way fainter while coasting. Just a suggestion, I hope you get it worked out!
