Default wierd vibration at 45 to 65mph not wheels out of balance

when i accellerate i can feel this wierd shimmy like something is out of balance. I know that its not my wheels and does it in every gear if i accelerate only around 45 to 65 mph.. think it might be cv axles but not clicking noises coming from them. Well gimme your input and i'll try to swap out cv axles to see if thats the problem .. I'll keep you all posted

vibration that occurs only on acceleration is usually inner cv joints.
when the inner joints go bad they don't make any noises (like the outer joints click)

Dude..I know you dont think its your wheels needing a balance...but they do...take them to a shop and get them re balanced rotated and put on...the shimmy should go away. (I say this cause it happened to me!)
