Default vibration when accelerating...

Hey guys, lately I've been noticing some slight vibration when accelerating in gear (taking off), most noticeable in 1st+2nd, what could this be?
Thanks in advance

Possible pitting of your CV joint in the rear.

Doesn't hurt to get inspected.

isn't this something needed for AP1's? and not for AP2's? (spacers)
i also notice that only people with Ap1's have reply? anybody with an AP2 has had this problem before?

if you read the DIY and TSB for vibration under acceleration it clearly states that the rear axles have pitted mostly the driver side axle... the ap1's and the ap2 have identical axles. so if both are lowered the same problem between the 2 will exist. the reason why it was said that ap2 couldn't have pitted axles was only because they were newer then ap1s that have been lowered for 30k miles started having pitting by then the ap2;s didn't have as much miles. now that the miles are getting more on the ap2s the same problems occur.... your axles are pitted, you need to swap or insert axle spacer.
