Default Vibration in my car

ok well latly i have picked up a vibration. i though it was the crank pully cuz that is where it sounded like it was coming from. but i realized it doesnt have a vibration when i rev it up with either the clutch in or in neutral. so it cant be the crank pully, crank, rods, etc... right? it goes by my speed ike the vibration starts to kick in at about 5k in first then for the rest of the gears. but its not that bad in 5th gear. also it doesnt vibrate in gear when slowing down or maintaining speed. only when i accelerate. please help me fix this. thank you

Could be something simple like you threw a wheel weight or you can have an axle starting to go. When you are at speed try taking out of gear and see if the vibration is still there. If it is not I would be more suspect of the alxe.

You may want to balance your tires or switch the front wheels to the back to get a quicker result.

it doesnt vibrate ever when it is not in gear. only when in gear accelerating. so axel? or could it still be a weight? also how do i check if its a weight? i dont think its an axel becuz when i have had one go bad it clicks when i turn and it doesnt do that. thank you so far everyone fir the tips and help

sounds like a wheel weight. Rotate your tires & see if it gets better. Or take it to a tire store & have them re-balance your tires. Should not cost vey much to do that.

i rotated the tires and its still there. not as bad but still affects the steering as if it is in the left front. umm.... when i took the tire off it has a spot in the tire about an inch wide all the way around where the threads are showing. this is a camber problem right just have it alligned or what? also could that cause the vibration?
