in addition to the above, I would suggest CV joint and wheel bearing possibly.

however, it's MORE likely that you have a dead tie rod end that under acceleration allows one wheel to slop around like a wet sponge giving you a feeling of instability.

wheels on the ground, take each front wheel with your hands, and give them a firm shake. any play in the wheel will require your most urgent attention.

check your driver seat. Maybe you have a loose nut or something and that is causing your seat to wable and you think its you car !

also check the road. You can check the road by driving at the normal speed and opening your door and laying your hand on the road. If you start to bleed, it is ashphalt, if you start to get rocks thrown at you, its a dirty/rock road, if you get wet, your in a boat.

Good luck !

if its under acceleration its most likely an axle.... but these are all guesses, so get under your car and check it out!

lug nuts are quick to check and should be on my way back from guelph I got wobbles in the car under acclerationa nd braking and well all the time ... all my lug nuts had been loosened off.. it's a quick and simple thing to elimate ... after that I say axle

i think it is tie rod gave tire a shake and it is hard to tell where it is coming from so took tire off and might be tie rod or axle.
