im not too sure, it kinda feels like the rear sways from left to right rather than a vibration i suppose. It feels like its the wheels but im 90% sure its not. When ever i accelerate, not hard, but ya know, give it some gas, it goes fine then it startes to rattle alittle, then its fine past 35ish or 40. its kind of hard to explain if your not actually in the car.

do you feel it in your hands or with your butt? hands it's most likely the front, your butt the back.

start by making sure your lug nuts are tight. than if they are get it up and check the bushings, shake stuff around and see what moves. when its up try to shake the tires around for a bad bearing.

thanks BC!

i'll try that this weekend. As of now i know for sure its coming from the back, i put a full tank of gas in there yesterday and it stopped, im assuming the wiehght of the gas is making the rear not wobble. BUT i know for sure my front passenger side bearing is shot and i need a new passenger side rear tire, but i dont htink the tire is bald enough for the car to wobble back and forth.
