idontnocars answered 8 years ago

would it be the high speed linage since it only happens as I accelerate and not at higher speeds?

Wheel lugs loose, a bent or warped wheel, bent steel belt in a tire, a defective tire or 2, an upper or lower ball joint, the list of possible causes could continue to grow. You had them rotated and balanced, but did you have the alignment checked?
