weird shaking when acceleration

hey guys when i pick up speed from 0mph the car has a little shake to it, right now im on megan ez coilovers, but i know its not them cause it did it when i had my other coilovers also. but i do have a cheap ebay camber kit on the rear, and its the not the kind with the strong bushings, so im not sure if the camber kit could be the problem or maybe something else.

and the suspension bushings control arm bushings, cv/axle bearings inner and outer,

whats the alignment spec out to now? camber up to negative 1.5 degree you wont even notice
did you get it reset after parts change? thats a must

I had that same issue. It wasn't a real bad shake but it was noticeable. For me it was my rear motor mount. I got that bad boy changed and she was smoooooooooth hehehehe

I dont even remember it was a while ago. I think i paid less than 300 to have acura install it. But it shouldnt be too hard for you to do yourself. The front one is the PITA.

i have the same problem when i accelerate there is a bad vibration, but its not present when i let off the accelerator. could it be my transmission mounts, or maybe driver side axle, it was replaced with a aftermarket one 3 months ago.

^Rare for transmission mounts to go bad, but they can.

If it's more like a "shudder" when you accelerate, it may very well be your EGR.
