Default steering help!

long story short i had to do a SHARP left u-turn...and ever since then when i am accelerating in the freeway(4th,5th) the steering wheel shakes left and right and the car shakes from the front as if the tires were wobbly, thought it was axles so replacedd both, then after that it started doing that during pretty much all geras till about 65mph...this only happens when i give it gas though...if anybody would happen to know what this could be and let kme know that would be greatly appreciated...

Any chance you bent the right front wheel?

Jack it up and give it a spin - you should see it if so.

Try and wiggle it,if there's free-play,its loose and needs ether tightening or replacing.

Could also be your tires or bent rim? Check them balanced if all else fails.

you may also want to check motor mounts and transmission mounts. i have had cars vibrate like that on acceleration and feel fine when coasting. on acceleration the torque can shift the engine if mounts are bad causing drive shaft missalignment and vibration
