If the vibration is observed when the car is at rest, engine is running, brake pedal is depressed and is on D, check the following:
- Idle speed must be according to the specification.
- Vacuum leak.
- Spark plugs condition and air gaps between the electrodes.
- Fuel system and injectors.
- Engine and transmission mounts for looseness or are broken.
- Muffler and its foundations.

In my 1998 toyota 4runner, I get vibrations when i accelerate and it seems to go away when i let off the gas?

If the vibration goes away when you let off the gas, it's definitely a ujoint. Best check them again. I see this is an old post. Maybe you have it fixed by now.

My car is making an awful groaning grinding noise noise when it starts. The noise stops after it starts. Put my foot on the brake it starts again. put thr car in reverse no problem put it in,drive it...

It's your exhaust mounts or broken exhaust bolts. It does it in drive st idle n under load because the motor is sitting in rubber mounts made to dampen vibration. Therefore the motor tilts to the left in reverse pulling the exhaust away from your under carraige, and to the right in drive causing the loose exhaust to vibrate against something. Check your heat shields also. They fall apart n do the same noise. Piece of cake.

Loud Vibration / Sound Under Acceleration And Starting Engine.

Get the engine mounts checked. A bad mount may allow part of the engine to lie on a body or frame part, allowing engine vibrations to become very loud. Torquing of the engine (under load) can cause the same type problems.

2000 subaru outback/ clunk when i put it in reverse

Turn off engine . get the vehicle on level ground. try to move driveshaft back an forth or,by rocking in twist motion,,, try to hear a knock,,,this would indicate a worn universal joint.either front or back, if you are good enough to discern which one is making the klunk, change both to be on the safe side. think they may be about 20 dol apiece.
