VIOLENT shaking from font end under acceleration *FIXED!!!*
thanks therealstonecold1970 for confirming my suspisions on the faulty cv halfshaft! that was the problem.. all is well now
What would cause the front end of my 94ssei to shake only under medium to full acceleration... i meen a violent fast side to side shake
No shakes when cruising or light throttle, perfect stoping (no shakes)
Start w/ the tie rods? This just all of a sudden started after getting off the highway. I have checked everything and it all seems in spec (tie rods and ball joints) and all lugs torqued. Even tried my stock wheels/tires

mine did that when my front axles were going out. do you hear any sounds while turning, kinda like a horse galluping. Maybe one of our gearheads will know

If what you have is a bad cv, you'll be able to tell it by accelerating hard (just to make the shake you have) while turning one direction, and then the other. This will tell you which side of the car its on.

Don't discount an ignition problem. Coil, plugs or wires. Under load or accelleration, this can make you think you have a more serious problem. You're describing typical ignition symptoms.
