Maybe cv shafts. Whens were they replaced? Check the boots for tears. Make sure your tires are high speed balanced

Check in this order (as long as no previous known accidents in teh front-end):

1. Inspect Rims for Bents, Bruises, etc.
2. Balance Rims + Tires
3. Ensure that the Alignment is on par
4. Check the CV Boots for Tears.

Worse Case Scenario, like yours sounds very similar to mine, it is the drive axle. The total cost including labor for someone else to do it costs $250 to $450 for remanufactured axles. If you want new, you'll have to buy from the dealer and the part alone costs $800+ easily.

Check these threads:

Might be your rear tranny mount. The acceleration part makes me recalled what I had last time, and I had my rear tranny mount broken.
