BINGO...I've never had to change an axle so doing it for the first time. I'm changing both because I can't tell which side is bad, the boots look fine, no grease spraying, etc. I was on here and also Googled till my fingers hurt, the symptom of vibrates on acceleration, smooth on coasting, and gets worse accelerating into a right turn. I found a half dozen posts on various forums with that exact symptom, and the cause was the same every time: bad axle, replaced it and vibration went away...but nobody said which side!!

I'll stop overthinking this and dive into it tonight. Will follow your instructions to a tee and post back.

I know this is an old thread but did that fix the vibration on acceleration my car is doing that but I don't notice it so much turning it seems to do it straight when going straight but goes away when you let the gas off.
However I also read that a motor mount could cause it and I read one time that control arm bushings can cause it I know the control arm bushings are bad on mine and I know the motor mount at the front of the motor is bad on mine it's leading down that side.
Could control arm bushings and a motor mount also cause that vibration on acceleration? almost feels just like wheel balance.
