I have a 2003 Dodge Neon SXT 2.0 liter. When I accelerate, at 45mph to 60 MPH there is a nasty vibration that seems to come from the front of the car. When I take my foot off the gas, the vibration stops. I had the alignment checked (it was fine) and all good?

Also changed both the front and rear oxygen sensors, I don't think that has anything to do with it though.lol

What iam trying to say is it sounds like one of your drive axles are causing the vibration.Can you tell which side the vibration is coming from?

Seems to come from both sides. Would this still be an issue even when I take my foot off the gae and the vibration stops?

Yes the axles are under more of a load under excelleration and will vibrate a lot more if that is the problem of the one of the axles vibrating out of balance.
