Lets get more details.
How bad is the shaking? Slight or jarring your teeth out?
Does it happen only during acceleration?

I also had a few Honda axles that would shake like crazy under hard acceleration. Broke them doing burn outs at the drag strip. Replaced them and the shake went away.
If it is only during acceleration it is probably an axle, but I wouldn't rule out the motor mount, like Trixz-x said.
Check the tires first. Make sure they are not out of round, make sure the wheels aren't bent, get them balanced, and if you still have a shake after that, check the motor mounts and look into replacing the axles.

it could be the axle. I think i hear it something when i get out my drive way turning left. I can sometimes hear a noise when I'm coming to a stop, but that hardly happens. Ill check the motor mount too tho jst to make sure.
