When accelerating? What speeds?
If its 60mph+, it is possibly a wheel balance.
If at low speeds, it can be a bad tire, bent wheel, or bad CV axle.
Please provide more information so we can help you find your problem.

Does it from mostly from 30-70mph, but what is confusing me is that the steering wheel doesnt shake at all, its the car that feels like it wobles from side to side but only when i accelerate.

nice reply thanks, as i stated i wanted to get a second oppinion before i spend a day changing the axles that i just changed 3 months ago. If its the axles then fine, i just dont want to waste my time.

I had the same exact problem it was a bad CV joint. I posted it up a couple of times on the EG forum. I changed all my mounts + my wheels and I got a new flywheel because I thought it was Glazed and it ended up being the axles. What kind of axles do you have and I suggest if you buy axles buy http://www.raxles.com they have the best Customer service ever. No complaints and the do core exchange. Good luck

They are cheap...but they also do not seem to last long at all, even on stock ITRs....so even if they have a life-time warranty j00'll still have to fork out for the labor, by either paying for it or doing it j00self. I, personally, wouldn't touch the autozone axles.

It's one or both of your driveshafts(axles), i had the exact same problem as you on my EK.

Autozone remanufactured axles suck. Personally, I would stay away from them.

supposedly napa sells axles with new (not reman) cv joints... ask about them, although I have not.
axles are easy, 15 min swaps

This is correct. I will be swapping one in very soon, and have only heard good things.
3 Autozone axles in <6 months =
