Default S2k still vibrates or shakes

Hi I'm new to posting but I've been on here a couple times . Under acceleration from a stop the car vibrates or shakes . I've changed the axles and drive shaft screws and still does the same thing. Idk what else can shake besides the diff. Or maby the drive shaft needs to be balanced? It was missing a screw and the others were very loose I can take them out with my hand.

Loose wheel or unbalanced wheels will cause this. Even warped brakes if your calipers aren't fully releasing.

if it only shakes under acceleration and not when cursing or slowing down its nothing listed above. I would look at the mounts or maybe engine miss or clutch slipping

Did you install aftermarket axles? They've been known to cause problems like this.

^I would definitely tighten up the driveshaft before throwing any money at the car.

I changed the drive shaft screws all new from Honda. I'm leaning towards the mounts because when I shift there's a banging noise not that bad but it's still there.

We also it did the same with the stock axles. One was torn up so I ended up replacing them anyway. It's only when I'm going to take off. Like 2mph Lol other then that the car runs great

if the vibration is only present at 2 mph. then it has nothing to do with a part being out of balance. I would be thinking misfire or clutch can u put up a video so we can actually help you

you could jack up the car on all 4s, and put in gear while in the air and try to find the source that way
