Car shakes when floored

Any reason my entire car would shake around like crazy at wot? It's kind of shakey at cruising speeds, but not as bad as wot. I have a b16b swap and just put in some brand new half shafts about two months ago..

Mount or 2 gone bad maybe? Maybe pop the hood, start it up, rev on the throttle cable and see if the engine shakes.

I tried doing it in neutral and it wouldn't shake, but I'll try that too.

stock.. I know it's not the engine, because it shakes a little more with speed but when I floor it it makes it worse no matter how fast I'm going. I dropped into neutral while going at 65, rpms dropped to ~800, and it was still shaking. I'm thinking it's a wheel bearing or the axles I got are junk..

if you put in new axles and it started doing it after that, then its probably your axles especially since you say it doesnt do it when your not moving, only when your moving it does that even in neutral, i would say its your axles. r u sure you got the right axles ? which ones did you buy ?

I got abs-equipped Si axles, the only ones that would fit according to my friend who's shop I took it to.

were they crap axles? Or maybe the mechanic who worked on it messed them up. I would take it back to the shop a talk to him, friend or not.

yeah i would get under there and loook at everything, make sure the half shaft is on good and in the tranny all hte way, the axle is on the half shaft good and in all the way on both sides. make sure they are in the tranny al the way.
