rims not balanced anymore, tires wearing down, bad suspension component, motor mounts to weak to keep the motor from twisting...

bent axle, bent rim, motor mounts, loose wheel....

most likely an axle issue...

hey i have the same problem but mine is only on 1st gear after that its fine. And i have a LS swap in a 94 hatch but it could be the exhaust cuz the previous owner had a cheap exhaust install on it didnt have the time to replace it yet just got the car 2 weeks ago. About the motor mounts the engine dont seem to shake or rattle when i push up against it.

ive gotta 92 hatch with a ls swap.... i had the vibration @ higher speeds in 4th gear, then it went to third gear then to 2nd... then i was @ the track one night, left the hold around 5k and broke the axle. so look into it

If its only when you accelerate its most likely the axle.
