Cool car shakes when accelerating into right turns

it shakes only when accelerating into the turn at a speed above or close to 25 mph
left turns are fine actually theyre great lol
checked cv boots no signs of wear or grease escaping
checked transaxle fluid and outer seals
worried about the ball joint (will probably take it out this weekend and check it) also tie rod

thing is if it was the ball joint/tie rod wouldnt this happen if i coasted around a corner too (which it doesnt)
recently changed the control arm (the problem already existed)
its not making any sounds tried driving in circles slowly radio off also tried reversing in circles nothing can be heard and the shake isnt there unless im over about 25mph
shocks seem fine did the bounce car test lol she comes back to the same position in one movement
any ideas hugely appreciated

Check the motor and tranny mounts.

ID the vehicle please.

Re: car shakes when accelerating into right turns

i did notice the front mount has a small crack its a $15 part ill switch it out and get back got my fingers crossed
(i have no problem fixing things that need it i just dont want to go out and buy $50-$100 parts when they dont need replacing)
thanks for the tip i was just kinda blowing it off but that does make sense

Re: car shakes when accelerating into right turns

Also check the tie rod ends and ball joints for play. It can be the right CV joint; it can go bad without any exterior signs of failure. Year and mileage of your car would help a lot here.

Re: car shakes when accelerating into right turns

1996 geo prizm 1.6 not lsi
you say the right cv joint dont you think it would be the left
seeing as it happens when im turning right and is putting pressure on the left side?
the other reason i ask is because i already ordered the left cv half shaft lol
ive checked tie rods and ball joint they seem to be fine and that motor mount was fine after all.
