When I press on my accelerator and expecially when I go up hills my car violently wobbles from side to side. Do you know what would cause this?

i took it to the garage yesterday and they put a new tire on it and said that they thought that would fix it. But it didnt. But they are going to work with me on it. But I would just like a second opinion.

Thank You!

Hi there,

I would be looking around the tyres, wheel balance, steering suspension & engine /transmission mounts, I feel that your problem will be around these points.

I take my car to the shop tomorrow. Wish me luck!
I was thinkin it could be the tranny mounts but when I asked the guys at the shop they said that it wouldnt be the motor mounts. But I dont know.
