Default Shakes while accelerating

I notice my car has a weird shake to it when acelerating semi hard. When im just cruising, Its fine, no shakes or anything at all.. Just when i get on it alittle it will start shaking. Whats the problem? I posted a thread over at the wheels area thinking it may be wheel related but if it was wheel related.. wouldnt it be doing it at all times?

I had a strange vibration when hitting the gas and while crusing at 80, it ended up being the transmission tailshaft bearing in my T56. I'f it isn't tires, I would check the axle bearings and transmission tailshaft bearing.

Definitely sounds like its coming from the front.. Sometimes when i accelerate hard in a smooth way itll be fine but when i just hammer it a bit itll shake

My car is an automatic btw dont know if that helps any

Do you have cats. It sounds like a cloged cat. Are you throwing any codes?

check your engine & tranny mounts. could be one or all are broken or breaking, throwing the alignment off. you could also check the driveshaft wheel weights and front end for looseness. goodluck

Im starting to think its wheel related.. I was doing some tests on the freeway and it really follows the wheel turning pattern.. Imma go get the wheels balanced later on and see if that helps at all.
