My whole car shakes badly when I'm accelerating over 20 MPH. When I let go of the gas it stops. I replaced the right lower control arm because the bushing was shot. It helped a bit for a bit but started again.

Does it seem like the engine is misfiring? if not, it sounds like the CV axles are worn out and need to be replaced. here is a generic guide to help walk you through the repair with instructions for your car in the diagrams below:
