Shaking/vibration accelerate

my 2004 acura TL 6 speed manual started vibrating/shaking during acceleration on all gears. once speed is steady no shaking/vibration going on. no shaking/vibrationg during braking as well. does anyone know if this is a known issue? i'm guessing its the engine/trany mounts.

Most likely it's the axle. I had my passenger replaced. I guess it's a common issue.

axle. clicking comes from worn outer CV joint. vibration under acceleration can be from worn inner CV joint. i've had both on my car.

well its kind of a tremer On the front end of my car. Kinda the feeling you get when you have warped/egged tires. I know its not the tired cause they are brand new. I changed them thinking that was the problem

Yes you guys are right. I did checked the axle and the passenger side has a lot of play. The driver side has some play as well but not as bad as the passenger side. Any recommendation as to what axle I should purchase?

OEM! The ones for the 6MT aren't too much money.

I posted about this in a similar thread. If there is an Autoparts International around your area, they sell ones for your AUTOMATIC TRANS. for a little over $100 i believe. The only reason i vouch for these is because we use them at the dealer I work for on the Auto. 3G TL's since customers don't want to spend that much for an OE. Although,ones for the 6MT are only a couple of hundred straight from ACURA.

I just recently started having this problem also. Mine is also a tremor feeling and is extremely noticeable, almost violent feeling from about 52-62mph. The car has 207K miles. I had a couple people tell me they thought it was motor mounts. Looks like I need to get on the lift and check.

Could it possibly be both? If so which should get repaired first?

i had my axle replaced yesterday. the scary tremor was gone but there is still some vibration during acceleration. i pulled out my front wheels this morning and found both lower control arms bushings ripped. will this cause some vibration during acceleration?

I feel like if it was the bushings causing the vibration, it wouldn't be just upon acceleration. It should be during braking as well..? no?
