Default Vibrations Under Acceleration please help

Ok this is my problem I got a 00 civic si and from a dead stop I start to take off the car starts to vibrate (mild vibration)in till I hit about 3k to 4k I not for sure about that part but you get the idea. You can feel it in the seat see it in the door panals.

So today i got my car looked at by a local tire shop and had them replace the drivers side inner and outer tie rod end and axle because I had some play I thought that would have fixed the problem but no, it now feels worse then before. I also had aniliment as well.

heres the run down of what I replaced in the last six months.

1. the things listed
2. intermedit shaft
3. both wheel bearings
4. drivers side motor mount
5. new rotors and pads
6. new wheels and tires
7. upper ball joints
8. new coilovers
9. good tranny and flywheel

things I think it may be

1. rear motor mount has some stress cracks right now
2. passerenger axle

Just let me know what you think or if anybody has ever had this problem before thanks...

if the vibration increases as the car increases its a good chance its the cv axles. iv learn from experience im replacing my cv axles as we speak just cause the vibration and cause i hate the anoyying clicking.. just got the 2 in today.

well I just got done driving my car and when you do go faster it does not stop but its not that bad ether at higher speeds this sucks, what would be a good set of axles to get without breaking the bank. Im starting to think its the axles as well and I got a bad axle out of the box just because its worse then it was before.

i have had problems with remans in my city because i was using d series axles for cores for b series swaps. then everytime i would go get a reman for a b-series i would end up getting d series axles instead. lmao

Yes. I work at Advance Auto Parts, and I still buy NAPA new axles. They are the best. I bought 1 NEW GSP axle from advance and it was garbage. I returned it as soon as I took my NAPA one back in for a warranty claim to get a new one. They come with lifetime replacement and never any issues.

Oh and we still sell remans.

that is exactly what my car did. Change the axels and possibly get a new intermediate shaft. I first had autozone axles then it shook. I then got napa axles and no more shake.

I used to use autozone GCK axles (I believe that is what they were called) but then switched to Napa when they stopped carrying that brand.
