Vibration while accelerating

Car and steering wheel vibrates pretty severely while under acceleration between 50-65mph. If suddenly let off accelerator it seems to stop vibration. Engine smoothly revs in neutral. Tires rotated and "bad" tie rods replaced with realignment with no success. Not sure if cv's or axels ever replaced. No obvious new noises( unchanged old high pitched wine sound), bearings "ok". No shifting issues noted. No obvious issues while turning van. Thanks, Barry

SOURCE: cv axel

you will have to use something to pry it out. Normally a long flat tip screwdriver has always pryed out the stubborn cv axels for me.

SOURCE: need to replace front left cv axel

Best approach is to acquire a repair manual for that vehicle. Pep Boys or similar will likely have one..

SOURCE: subaru vibration

I had similar problem with my '99 outback. Replaced the front half shafts and seemed much better. A few months later seemed to be comming back so replaced the driver side shaft again and the problem disappeared. I had put in rebuilt shafts and the driver side shaft was not rebuilt correctly.

depending on where the vibration is from, either the tyres (could be a buckled rim, (jack it up and spin the wheel by hand and check) or it could be a drive shaft problem. It could be a bent shaft or worn knuckle. It would be better if I knew if you meant vibration or wobble and also where about in the vehicle you feel it most.

Vehicle vibrates under acceleration but when you back off vibration disappears - saab 2.2 tdi

If this happens when acceleration in a straight line, it indicates either a cylinder misfire, in which case the MIL lamp will be lit or, you have worn CV joints at each end of the drive shafts to the driven wheels.

Outer CV wear is usually manifest by a 'rhythmic clicking' on turns under load. Vibration usually is inner CV wear.

The vibration is felt in the seat from 55 - 65 mph, when accelerating. I have new tires, just balanced and rims straightened, so no damage. Is it possible to be the front axles? The passenger side has some...

Unless you have AWD (all wheel drive), there is no driveshaft to check. But the inner CV (constant velocity) joints do wear out eventually and will give you a vibration under acceleration. If this problem occurs only when you are accelerating, it is time to replace the axle shaft that is worn. It could be just one or both. If the condition exists under any other circumstance, the suspension and steering components need to be checked as well as the front wheel bearings.
