Default Rear vabration while accelarating

HI guys I need help trying to figure out what is causing this problem...MY cars just got out of the mechanic 00 AP1 with a new differential, and propeller shaft, mechanic toll me not to step on it until break in which He said about 500 miles. the car is lowered by the previous onwer and it needs to be aligned, but here is whats happening. HELP PLEASE

When you are accelarating the car starts to vibrate in the rear (not the steering wheel) I have no clue on what is really causing this to happend. all I can think is that one of the CV joints is bent also when I turn the steering wheel all the way while driving, the car starts to make a clak, clak, clak, clak, noise

Any help will be highly appreciated.

First guess was the cv's. Swapping them from side-to-side may fix it, or in my case, it won't. New cv's to the rescue!

A common solution to your problem is to switch the Inner CV joints from side to side.

The problem is that the surface where they contact are getting worn away, so there is room to wiggle. Swapping the sides will give it a new surface to contact. The worn away parts will now be in contact when you accelerate in reverse, but for most people, thats not a problem.
