My car has an extremely bad vibration when I accelerate and has for a while now. However, the problem is inconsistent and is sometimes better than other days and worse on other days. I’ve had my brakes replaced recently and my tires changed, so I’m unsure. My check engine light is not on so I’m almost certain it is not an engine problem.

Hi,

Oftentimes, this is the result of worn CV joints on the front axles. Have they been inspected or checked?

Also, when you make sharp turns when pressing the throttle, do you ever notice a clicking sound? Take a look through this link and let me know if anything mirrors what you experienced:

Let me know.

Take care,
