Default Rear 'Quiver' under hard acceleration

Over the last week, Ive noticed a quiver from the rear of the car when accelerating hard.

Before I take it in I wondered if anyone knew what this was?

I assume its drivetrain related, the only difference to my car is 18inch wheels, so maybe they have lost a balance weight or something.

Is there something I should look at first?

Thanks in advance.

if you only have 35,000 miles, why not take it to the dealership and get it fixed under warranty. Swap your original wheels and tires back on so they can't say the failure is due to heavier wheels/tires.

If it feels like a thumping vibration...you have what I had. The driver side cv joint housing has pits in it. The housing costs ~ $200.

I will post pictures of my replacement during lunch.
