When accelerating hard while turning my wheels seem to be vibrating!
It is pretty noticable but only when im accelerating hard while turning.
If im just turning or braking and turning, its fine but from a stop when I step on it while turning the shake and it seems pretty bad!
What can it be ?

If you were a noob, it' guess torque steer or wheel hop...

But, I guess this is something new you've just recently started to notice...

How many miles on the car ?? Could be CV joints, which means you're looking at replacement axles....

Yeah i think it's torque steer..........
Try to get some good summer tires so the wheels can hook up.

I had a kinda same issue about a month ago. started with weird griding sound turn on acceleration.I thought there was a prob with traction control.2 weeks after that it got pretty bad ,feeling like wheel hop.checked car over and could'nt find the prob.took it to my friends shop after about a hour found the inner axle joint was falling apart. This was also a axle that was replaced 5000miles before,so It got replaced for free.even if you replaced axles recently check there. also my noise was when a was turnning to the left,it was the left inner that was torn up.

I would like to ask why do you need to accelerate hard while turning? That just stresses everything even more in a FWD car like ours. Now rear drive that's a different story.
