Default front end wobble upon acceleration, broken mount?...

i had the car aligned and balanced, but that didn't do anything.
upon acceleration(hard..) the font end seems to wobble from left to right. wobble violently actually..
going 90 mph there is no wobble, and at any steady speed it is fine,, breaking does NOT cause the wobble.
going hwy speeds and hitting it, it wobbles less, and the wobble is most noticeable on fast acceleration at lower speeds.
any help appreciated
thanks

Default Sounds like a broken motor mount.

Easy to inspect - look for purple goo.

Default check your front axles, both sides

i had similar symptoms prior to replacing one of my front axles a while back

if this is the case, raxles.com is a good source for remanufactured axles.

That's probably your problem then. Verify correct installation.
