Default Vibration under acceleration?

Lately, I've been getting a vibration while I'm accelerating. Not sure if it's coming from the wheels or somewhere else. It happens when I start from a start or when I accelerate from a slower speed. This has been going on for abouuth the last 500-1000 miles.

I thought it might be from the front or rear tires. The fronts were worn out and the rears had about 5,000 miles on them. Yesterday, I got 2 new S02's fro the front and had the rears re-balanced. I thought the vibration would go away, but It hasn't.

My 01 has 29,500 on it and about 2.5 degrees negative camber both front and rear (for autoxing). If I remember right, the rear toe angle is set at zero.

Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what causes it? Thanks.

I had that for a week and a half, then my driver side half shaft fell out of my inner cv joint.

It is caused by wear of the inner CV joint.

Thanks for the warning. What worries me now is, is the CV joint problem covered under warranty? I'm at 30k miles now.
