Default 93 Civic CX Vibration Under Throttle 70km/h and up.

Ok I am at my witts end with this car. The car has 240,000km on it and has always had this vibration since I purchased it at 210,000km. It is only when you are on the gas at 70km/h or more. It is running the stock d15.

On Saturday I replaced:
Both Wheel Bearings
Both Axle Shafts
Both Upper Control Arms With New Balljoints
Both Lower Ball Joints
All New Poly Motor Mount Inserts

Does anyone know what i'm missing or could point me in another direction?

Well there isn't enough information to even start diagnosing your type of problem.. There's a vibration when accelerating at 70km/hr.. First of all, you must mean accelerating from 40mph, there's a vibration.. First thing I would do is rotate the tires front to rear. Then I would look at the axle shafts and make sure they're the correct length.. I've seen some pretty weird things with aftermarket axles.. They've caused noise, abs lightss, and such...

do you have after market wheels/tires? or is there anything dirt,tar,gravel,mid,snow stuck on the wheels/tires?

it could be that they arent balanced. it happened to me the other day when we had a snowstorm and i had just a little snow on two of my tires and anything over 60mph i thought the car was going to break apart.

It vibrates from 70km/h on only when you are on the gas accelerating. I have tried 3 sets of shafts and none of them cure the problem. I even have brand new OEM shafts in it now. 2 sets of rims and tires have been tried both before balancing and after checking to make sure they are balanced.
