Default Help... Horrible Vibration on Accel/Decel?

Hey my 93 integra GS is vibrating horribly when power is applied to take off or go up hills. It also vibrates when you let out of the gas. When the clutch is pushed in the vibration isn't noticable. I've put the car up in the air and checked the balljoints, tie rods, wheel bearings, intermediate shaft, axles, motor mounts, everything I can think of and now im saying WTF! Any ideas?

Just to throw some more ideas out.
warped rotor
clutch
flywheel
tps.

I had a bad vibrate problem when taking off up hill from 1000-2200rpm and engine braking when my tps was reading 15% on closed throttle. Well not really a vibrate, whats a slow vibrate called?
Well it jerked every 200ms

Idk but the rotors, clutch, and flywheel all of them are nearly new. Its a steering wheel shake/vibration going through the whole car. Almost feels like a wheel coming off, but the lugs are torqued down.

Try taking your wheels for a balance and check your steering alignment.

New tires 5K miles max on them. Alignment is where it was before this started. The car coasts smooth at any speed. The vibration only occurs speeding up or slowing down.

Only other thing I can think is too soft/warn front LCA bushes. Then when you accelerate the wheel pull in on each other and engine braking they pull away.

Check tires for strange wear.

No abnormal wear on the tires. No abnormal wear on anything that I can find. Inner and outer CV seem fine, replaced 10K miles ago. The bushings are good and the radius rod bushings were replaced about 5K miles ago with Energy Suspension ones. All other bushings are oem or replaced oem as they were needed. The motor mounts are oem with inserts and are not loose or broken. The steering rack is tight also. I just dont know why all of a sudden I am getting this violent shaking in my steering wheel. It really feels like a wheel is coming off.

Default What brand are your axles?

I have a crx with a jdmb18c1 and had a similar problem only that I only had vibration while accelerating. After pulling my hair out for awhile and checking everything it turned out to be my axles. I needed new axles before all this vibrating and decided to go the cheap route and buy aftermarket ones from Advance Auto Parts store instead of OEM. Well big mistake. I learned that OEM axles are shorter in length than aftermarket ones and have a rubber damper on them which 99% of aftermarket ones don't have. Swapped out my cheap axles for new honda OEM ones and the vibration was gone. Maybe this will help.

I have this same problem on my DA. I am running autozone axles on both sides and I did notice that there was no rubber ring damper on the autozone ones, but they have lifetime warranty no matter how many time they break or rip boots. But I believe that could be the problem.

Your axles could be out of balance.. i've noticed it seems to be more common on autozone/advanced axles though.. or your joints could be worn.. Have you inspected the axles.. double checked and inspected wheel bearings/wheel bearing play?
