It's been a while since I've asked for help on here, but I finally have a problem that hasn't been asked about(to my knowledge).

Under moderate to heavy(full throttle) acceleration in 1st and 2nd I'm getting a nasty vibration through the steering wheel and floorboard. The front and rear motor mounts were replaced last summer, and I know one of the rims is warped(getting new ones when I get my tax return), but it doesn't feel like it could be a tire/wheel, even though it almost feels like wheelspin/hop.
I'm also hearing a clicking sound from the passenger front on low speed turns(20-30) mostly with my foot off the gas, it's seperate from the vibration, but still something I'll be looking to fix while I'm under the car.

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem so I can have a jumping off point before I get under the car(probably go with the jackstands instead of the ramp so I can have the tires out of the way). I've got Thurs-Fri off from work and plan on tackling this problem as well as installing my Blitz front end(if it's warm enough, otherwise it's just fixing the problem).

To me it sounds like it may be a CV joint or shaft, but just wanted to hear some opinions so I can have some key areas to look at while I'm under there.

ed: almost forgot, I've got ~196,700 miles on the car

When I first got the car it had a similar problem, then my dad replaced the entire spindle mount/bearing/cv joint assembly and it was gone...so it could be any of these, that's why my dad replaced the whole thing, didn't have time to look at it and find out the exact problem cause we wanted to get the car done asap.
