Welcome to 2CarPros.

Many things can cause a vibration, but since you feel it under acceleration, the first thing I suggest checking are the universal joints on the drive shaft. If they are worn or bad, the will cause a vibration.

Here is a link that discusses what a U-joint is and how to check one. Check this first and let me know what you find.

Take care,
