Is it shaking or does it seem like it's hesitating?

Could be time to replace the wheel bearings(new hubs), intermediate shaft bearing, maybe add some rack spacers while your at it (if lowered).

Im in line to do so soon...my front suspension is all out of whack right now.

its an axle...

I just had the same problem. If it follows the RPMs more so than the road, its more than likely an axle.

I have the same problem seems under hard acceleration mostly . Iwill start with the cheapest part to replace ofcoarse LOL. I dont thin kits an axle bothe were changed so most likely gona be control arm bushings or some crap in the suspension and yes mine is lowered aswell i guess lowering it is puttin more stress on the busings .
