Default 1993 civic Front end vibration at 30 mph HELP!!!

I have a 93 civic coupe and there is a heavy vibration from the front end at like 30-35 mph,over 40 it goes away.You can feel it in the floor and the rest of the body but not the steering wheel.Feels mostly on the drivers side.I read it could be a bad inner cv joint,but I replaced the drivers side axle.Could it be the inner joint on the pass side axle??? Has anyone had anything had something like this before? any tips or info is greatly appreciated
also its not the rims or tires I rotated them and the vibration is still the same

it could still be the axle.

did you replace it with a jobber one? some of those don't seem to be balanced. when i was at Acura, we would sometimes have to send them back for another one since they didn't balance (new or re-man axles).

how's your brake pedal? possible warped rotor as well?

have you checked your tie rod end and ball joints?

Did you try to ballence the wheels yet cause an axle will mostly vibrate only while accelerating and it only gets worse with speed but an out of ballence tire can will vibrate at different speeds depending on how unbalanced it is also check the tire condition try to rotate your rims front to back and feel for any difference in vibration if it was in the rear then you will feel it tin the steering after you rotate. Hope that helps a little good luck

Yes u can only feel it when accelerating.When slowly accelerating at 30-35 mph the whole front end shakes and vibrates,but not in the steering wheel.Does this mean its an axle?

It's most likely an axle problem then, you should try the other side axle

Also the lower left side motor mount is completely broken,can that be the cause of my shaking/vibration when driving?

^ um yea...

Motor mount might wanna change asap. Unless you want to have your motor fall out of the car. Just read about that happening on here to a guy.

It would be easier for us to help you if you told us everything up front instead of after the fact yes a bad mount can cause other problems fix that first then if the car still shakes then I would look into swapping the pass side axle
