Default car shakes at full throttle

My car shakes at full throttle but only for like 2500 rpm from when I full throttle it. I thought that it was my tire, but I had discount tires balance it. Then I checked all my bushings and my mounts and that was not it. I changed my axles just because that might be it, but no. My next thing is to change the hub, but would like to get some suggestions first.

you had DISCOUNT tires balance it haha. maybe thats why. look for maybe a bend in the wheel or something.. a little bend will do ALOT of vibrating.

check your rotors if those have a slight warp in them then it will throw your **** off key had that same issue just threw on new rotors and bitch rides like a mint--- just my opinion but good luck wit it though

usually or so i have noticed that warped rotors only shake your car when you are on the brakes. it is usually not good to be on the brake when you are full throttle.

idk about the axles. i have also had quite a few broken axles in my day and usually the only noise you get from them is when you are turning or some times they make a rattling noise. definitely have never felt my car shake from a bad axle.

maybe check your motor mounts. see if that motor is trying to escape from your car bad/missing motor mounts would cause your engine to shake, I've never had bad mounts but i bet that would cause some car shakeage.

i had this problem with my si before. at first i thought my wheels werent balanced but it turned out to be my mounts. i replaced them with hasport and it stopped the shaking.
