Car Shakes When Accelerating

I have 02 GT 3.8L with 130k on it. When I accelerate it shakes extremely bad and when I let off the gas it stops. Is that a broken or worn CV joint or something else. And if it is should I replace both sides?

Re: Car Shakes When Accelerating

After closer inspection the outer tie rod boot is torn and the tie rod is shaking. I believe that is my problem.

Re: Car Shakes When Accelerating

Fix the tie rods, there's a bug chance that's the source of the problem; however, when mine were with, it would show up while braking, but that doesn't mean it can't happen what you're experiencing.

Bad CV joints would cause the car to shake when more while doing tight circles in a parking lot, specially in reverse. That's what I've been told.
