Default Need some advice on a problem with my DD

It's an 04' stratus with a little FWD 2.4 4 cylinder in it. It seems that when you turn to the left under acceleration the car vibrates very bad, also sometimes when going straight. There's no problems when turning right feels perfect. It's hard to explain much better but to the best of my ability it almost feels like the wheel is going to fall off during left turns. As soon as you let off the gas it feels normal but as soon as you touch the gas pedal again the extreme vibrating comes back. Thanks for any help guys I always like to try and fix the problem myself and am pretty unsure right now.

sounds like the cv axle is about to break.. I have a gmc syclone that was doing something just like that.. replaced it, which was a B cause I had never done it before and didnt have the proper tools.. but I got it done and turns fine without vibration.. just don't bend the disc brake sheilds cause it will squeak and rub till you bend em back straight..

Yes, sounds like a CV joint.
