car shakes when accelerating
when accelerating, my car starts to shake like i'm hitting small potholes in the road. The steering wheel doesnt really shake, I feel it more at the bottom of my feet. It feels worse when im making right turns, and doesnt really do it when making left turns. It drives fine when im just cruising.
FYI:
-I've changed the passenger side axle(old axle had a ripped boot)...but that did nothing.
-the passenger side wheel has about 3-4mm of play, holding the wheel at the 3 and 9o'clock position and moving it left and right. I'm thinking the inner tie rod might need to be replaced?
-the driver side wheel has about 2-3mm of play, holding the wheel at the 6 and 12o'clock position and moving it up and down.
-re-balanced wheels, did nothing.
I narrowed down the possibities to..
1)passenger side inner tie-rod
2)driver side lower ball joint
3)blown shocks
4)busted OEM LSD(USDM ITR)
...anyone have any ideas to what it could be?

Re: car shakes when accelerating
wheel bearing? a friend of mine had this issue... well somewhat... it was making this rubbing sound like a boot was broken turned out to be a wheel bearing... no clicking or anything...
did you use oem axles? some aftermarket come pre fucked up i've been hearing... trying replacing it again...
to check ball joints check if they are freakishly loose...
doubt shock will do that...
and the tranny if it's busted drain the fluid and check for metal flakes?
wouldn't the wheels spin (when turned manually) together if the diff is blown?

Re: car shakes when accelerating
Check the axles to see if you had and exessive movment on the shaft not just at the wheel. I would check the right axle were it goes into the tranny and see if the joint has any movment. Also would definitly fix your other suspension problems if not for vibration then tire wear and safty.
