Horrible Vibration on Accel

[ArcticChill22]

So I was driving home from work tonight, I heard something pop and then the sound of something metal bouncing off the bottom of the car. But the vehicle didnt seem to drive any different so I just kept going because I thought I might have ran over something. I dropped my friend off at his house and get out to turn down the boost a few notches because I wanted to tune the car a bit on my way home. Well as I pulled out of the driveway, when I gave the car gas the front seemed like it was bucking/vibrating really badly and it increased with the throttle. The more I pressed down on the gas pedal the harder and faster the front seemed to vibrate and it was so bad that the whole car would vibrate. My car was knocked out of alignment a few weeks ago and I had planned on going to get it fixed in the morning but Im thinking something worse is wrong. I looked at all my motor mounts and they seem to be fine, so Im thinking it could be a balance shaft? wheel bearing? or something else? What are you guys's opinions. I know for a fact the car is out of alignment but im afraid to drive it to the mechanic if im running the risk of doing major dmg. ### give me some feedback

If you have access to a jack, tire iron and basic tools, i would check to make sure the balance shaft belt is still intact and working properly. After that, since you have the car jacked up, leave a wheel on. But again, leave the wheel jacked off the ground and push on each side of it to see if you have any play that you shouldnt.

I had the same problem. It turned out to be a cv axle in my case.

if u think it could be the cv axle turn the wheel all the way to one direction and go in reverse in circles............. if it pops its ## cvjoint

I also forgot to mention that since this has started happening, my car is hard to start after sitting for a few hours. Its almost like all the gas had leaked back into the tank and I have tap the gas a few times and crank, then stop and retry a few times before it will finally start. Could this all be one big problem or a mass of things going wrong at once
