As I accelerate hard, the car wobbles. If I accelerate slowly it is not as apparent until I get to around 60km p/h or faster. It is only when the engine is under load that the car wobbles. I have replaced the dog bone engine mount, also the front engine mount. I have had a tyre specialist balance all 4 tyres and check for eggs, but they are all fine. I have checked all wheel bearings. Visually inspected all bushes and steering components. I've checked all oils and filters. Have checked cv shafts by figure 8 test. After replacing front engine mount, wobble was slightly less. Soft or hard braking from any speed does not change the effect.

Absolutely any information that you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This is a common problem caused by worn inner cv joint housings. What exactly is a "figure 8 test"?
