Default Front end Shaking! please help (UNDER LOAD ONLY)

ok so i got my front end clicking taken care of...... but now i have this problem (had it the whole time just doing 1 thing at a time)

so at about 45-50mph+ my front end of my car starts to shake pretty violently * ONLY UNDER LOAD *
it only happens when im at about 50% or higher acceleration. and it doesnt do it at all in 1st or 2nd gear.. only 3-5th.

i started off eliminating problems in this order....
checked all motor mounts
checked every bolt/nut i could find on the front end (crossmembers, brackets, everything)
bought new suspension (Kyb-Agx fully adjustables with Skunk2 Coilovers)
bought new tires (Eagle RS-a)
2 new axles
and again checked to see if everything is tight.


now im just lost, i cant figure out waht it is. i searched this topic but it ended up being peoples axles... well im sure its not taht i just put 2 new ones in within a week from today.

if anyone has a better idea of what it is let me know :D thanks in advanced.

Dan

you might wanna check the balance on the tires. even though they are new, it is possible you may have thrown a weight, or they may have not been properly balanced. usually when you buy tires, they come with a lifetime balance and rotation...so really, this is a cheap attempt to fix an aggravating problem. one other thing you might check... see if your wheels are running true....could be wheel run out which could cause a vibration. good luck !

id definetly check the tire balance, and wheel alignment. Another potential canidate is the balance shafts, is the belt properly aligned tensioned
