Unhappy Car violently Shaking

so i i'm driving home from work yesterday and i noticed my car started shaking when i would accelerate over 2500 rpms... I thought it was road conditions at first but realized that it started doing it when i was driving on regular street.


I've ready that it might be the axles.. or coil packs...

Now if im wrong please let me know.. When im on the freeway i was going about 65 and put the car in neutral and the car felt perfect.. but when returning to accelerating it would shake again.

This has gotten progressively worse today. I just changed out 1 of my coil packs about a month or so ago and have a spare in the trunk..Im hoping its only coils.

Doesnt really sound like coils. Do you have CEL?

yeah just changed the passenger side.. need to do the drivers side this weekend.. .. noticed that i definitely have some sort of vacuum leak.. head it sounded like it was near the turbo.. guessing its TIP or failing DV.

BTW if any of you guys are in the LA area.. I got an place you can get axles for a great price. message me if your interested.
