Default 2004 Accord Ex problem has me baffled

Ok, Here is the deal.

About 2 weeks ago i noticed a problem that has developed in my Accord.

When I am driving and hit 20-35 mph zone the car wobbles. Its more noticeable from the passenger side. The car feels like a wheel is about to fall off. This wobble is pronounced while i am accelerating, just normal accelerating. As soon as i feel it, I let off the gas and it goes away, I get back on the gas and it resumes but after it gets over 35 mph its a lot less noticeable.

So, Basically its only doing it when i have my foot on the gas pedal accelerating 20-35 mph range. Once it gets 40 on up the wobble almost goes away or is a lot less noticeable.

I felt at first i had a slipped belt in a tire. I put new tires on it the other day and it still does it.

I have jacked up each corner of the vehicle and tried to see of there is any play in the wheels. There is no play, Its normal. I have had excellent luck with Hondas in the past.

This car only has 40K miles on it and i bought it brand new, It hasnt been abused or anything like that.

We have a couple Honda Specialist here in town so I am going to let one take a look.

My gut feeling is that it has something to do with a axle but i am not sure.

We checked the motor mounts and they were Ok also. Visual inspection on the lift whre i work revealed nothing out of the ordinary, nothing looked like it had been hit or damaged.

At first i thought this wobble was coming from the back but now i am not sure.

Any opinions would be appreciated. This is my 5th Honda and this is the first problem i have had with any i have owned in the past.
