Default slight shaking under hard acceleration

the car feels like its shaking a bit under hard (over 1/2 throttle) acceleration, LS in a EG coupe with no lower torque mounts. wheel bearings? (please tell me im wrong)

also, for some reason sometimes when i turn the ignition, it just does a single click, and if i just keep turning it over and over it'll eventually start up no problem. loose starter wire?

The shaky feeling under accel sounds like it might be your cv axles. I think this is a symptom but im not 100%.
The clicking intermittently sounds like your starter is dying. It will eventually get to a point where it wont start at all...
You can take it apart,clean,and lightly touch up the contacts which will help sometimes. I did this to mine when it started going bad and it lasted over another year until i broke off the B+ stud whe doing a swap once...
Good luck!

(sorry to bring this back, but i forgot i even made it, lol)

thanks for the info- my starter ended up having a loose connection that visually looked fine.. but tugged on the positive lead a little and it moved all around got the car with a fresh swap, no biggie.

and the axles.. when i got it, he told me something about how the car has ABS, and he pulled a couple fuses because only one side has an ABS axle? dunno if its possible really.. the brakes are GSR upgraded to drilled/slotted rotors, i believe ABS as well. could the shaking be from a non ABS axle in a ABS rotor? or is it not even possible to work? sorry, i don't know much about ABS (as far as the special parts)

For the shaking I am thinking axles or wheel bearings and for the click it could be the loose wire on the starter or your main relay may be going out
