First, I would think of a motor/tranny mount.  They are a pain to check for s=

When the car is accelerating, weight is lifted off the front tires.  It is p=

Next is the front wheel alinement.  Same thinking as above, but rotating tir=

Can you read the codes from the OBDCII?  Do you have a lift?  These are the n=

Make sure you post the answer once it's found, I know I want to know what it=
