A case of the shakes...

Did I read somwhere it was a balljoint problem if it vibrates while accelerating only? It isn't a misfire, so I thought maybe that could be it. It only happens from 15-20 mph while accelerating.

I think kris told me this way
vibrates on:
accelleration only- cv joint
braking only- rotors or calipers
cruising- wheel balance

the ball joints are easy to check, or any alignment shop can quickly verify whats wrong

so then ball joints are irrelevant to any car vibrations?

If a ball joint were bad enough to have any vibrations you would know it by the amount of noise they made over every bump. (while it is possible i would look into other things)

My guess would be first the motor mounts, or axle.
