That is typically caused by a bad inner CV joint...

Check to make sure the boots are not torn open. If they are, replace the axles with some lifetime warranty parts from Autozone.

If they are not torn, check for bad motor mounts or any play in the suspension. Though play in the front suspension usually results in vibration during braking and not so much during acceleration (because of weight transfer)...

If his mounts were friend it would vibrate harshly 24/7.

I'm voting for CV joint or possibly wheel bearing/axle related problems.

actually, if the mounts were bad they wouldn't vibrate 24/7.
think about it, when you accelerate, the engine is moving, if mounts were broken or loose the motor would send vibrations through out the car.

when you decelerate, the engine is going back to or is near the idle speed. where less/no vibration is felt.

trust me, i have broken plenty of mounts during my time.

At least "check" the mounts & suspension before you go through all the trouble of replacing an axle...
