Default crazy shake under acceleration

hey ht,
before anything i want to say that i've already checked that
alignment is within spec (other than neg camber)
tires are all same size and inflated, and balanced
all mounts are in good condition and are innovative mounts
and the axle has been replaced and even tried on a buddys car and was ok

everytime i accelerate hard the wheel begins not vibrating but shaking almost out of my hands, and it is only at above 30+ mph and under acceleration, when i let of and start to brake it goes away,

Steeing rack makes wierd noise when i turn one way but not the other. could a bad rack shake the car, if so does anyone know if a crx si rack and pinion would fit, even if i replaced the inner and outer rods

Wait, so you didn't check for warped rotors?! That's the number 1 cause of the symptoms you described.

yea..check for loose mounts. one screw from any mounts can cause that problem.

i once saw a guy on ht that was claiming he but a crx si rack and pinion on his da integra and it worked fine cut out like 20-30 lbs, he claimed that as long as you use the crx si inner and outer tie rods it will work, i cant remember where i saw that, can anyone that has this setup give me a heads up

After rereading your post, i would definitly agree that your rack could be the issiue. Have you jacked up the front of your car and checked for play in the tie rods/rack/balljoints/front suspension?

have you checked out your front steering and suspension components yet? it truley isnt that hard. No one is going to be able to tell you with certainty what the problem is, unless they have the car in front of them.
