Quite recently I've have this vibration, where the entire car shakes once I'm doing greater than 50+mph in gears 3-5(duh), ONLY during acceleration. Its really weird. I intend to get my wheel balances checked soon, although I have my doubts as this being the shaking stops if i coast/brake at the same speeds. There are no issues with turning etc, as I try not to at 70mph.

Also the problem sometimes disappears for short periods of time, and just that, the vibrating stops! Very odd.

I have had my motor mounts changed recently, for the record. Any suggestions?

No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.

Well guys, I did some extensive research and i've learned its quite possibly the CV joints. A large number of resources online have stated that CV joints don't necessarily have to click, but a sign that they are bad is also that during highway speeds (45-50mph+) the CV joint can vibrate annoyingly as mine is.

Tomorrow I will be going under the car to check if the boots are busted and if this is in fact my issue. If anyone has any input to confirm this or any experience changing these please don't hesitate to post!!
