@imaricer if his tires gave a violent shake it would have to be balance again and would have felt it driving out the shop a few miles down the line

the tear in the boot could possible be the culprit cause I'm facing this issue and have to change mine as well

i'd say axels/cv shafts/whatever you want to call them if its only under WOT, but i could (and probably am) be wrong

It's a broken axle.

Do you have LSD? It is most likely at the cv joint on the side that has a torn boot. You should notice it more while turning/accelerating as well.

I just checked the axles and they both seem fine..they have a small wiggle to them but nothing seems un normal when tugging really hard on them.

I had 2 loose bolts on the arm that attaches to subframe and LCA..tigtned them up and that helped a little bit.
think im also going to toss my 75A innovative mounts and replace them with 60A for DD.

The most common place to break our axles is the cv joint, not the shaft.
Again do you have LSD? If so, stop driving the car immediately. Pull the wheel off, pull the axle nut off, and I guarantee you'll find a broken cv joint on the side of the noise.
