Exclamation weird wobble when accelerating

When i accelerate my car wobbles really badly, but when i let off the gas its fine. over 65 mph its almost unbareable to keep accelerating, but if i accelerate with cruise control its fine. anyone know wtf would be wrong?? it seems like a serious problem

When you rev in park does it wobble? When you shift in-and-out-of drive and reverse does it make any loud clunking noises? Might be motor mounts if so. Otherwise could be cv joint/front axle.

Ck cv axles boots for signs of grease leakage from inside them

Motor mounts.

How many miles on the car now?
They are known to last 50 or 60k.
Check for prices on acuraoemparts.com for prices and check diy list here for replacement.

Napa has the new axles for $100. Probably time to replace those bad boys.

thats the most likely--its due on miles for those anyway
replace both sides and be done with it
DO NOT go rebuilt--get to napa for great proven units
