When I accelerate my car shakes but when I let go of the accelerator it stops. I took it for a tire balance but it wasn't that. The worstof it seems to be coming from the left side of the car. The front wheel? What could it be?

Has the check engine light come on to indicate it could be a misfire? Were steering components checked? Was the wheel checked for damage? If you rotate the tires, does the vibration seem to move from front to rear?

No check engine is on. I got a tire balance n rotation and it still shakes. It feels like it's mainly on the front left side. The drivers side

After driving it, does that wheel seem much hotter than the others?

Have the CV joints and axles been checked?

Does this vehicle have a 100K powertrain warranty?

As far as repair, if the joint is taken apart to be checked, it will end up costing more than it would to just get a remanufactured axle with two new joints on it. Years ago, we would remove an axle, remove the boot and take apart the joint, clean, inspect, and grease it if it was still good. Because the cost of a replacement axle has come down so much, the labor to inspect and potentially repair the old one is out weighed by the new part cost. Replacement actually ends up cheaper.
