I have a 91 accord ex-r. Whenever i hit the gas in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear the whole car shakes substantially and I feel the problem is in the front end. There is no decrease in power from the engine and no noticeable noises accompany the shaking. It has grown increasingly worse over the course of a day's drive to and from work accross the city.(aprox. 60km of city driving) Any ideas about the possible cause or solution?

Is it worse when the car goes faster? like at high speeds.

my car is lowered 1.5 inch and it seem to be coming from the passenger side. it gets worse as a accelerate but goes away comepletlly when i let off the gas

Put the car up on jackstands, start it and put it in gear. Observe the inboard CV joint on the passenger side. It will probably be flopping around and it probably the culprit of your vibration problem.

The same thing happened to me and when I replaced the axles with new quality axles, the vibration went away completely.
