    I would guess its your Guibo.

      CSB is also a common problem.

        Where is the vibration coming from?!

        More info would help...

          Without seeing the car in person, a failing CSB and binding u-joints in the driveshaft would be my guess. If the vibration is worse in the lowest gears with more generous use of the throttle, the CSB and drive shaft are the probable culprits.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            The vibration is mostly the steering wheel... well basically the whole car.. I changed the guibo and CSB. I have to take it back to the shop then. I NEED to get it fixed asap, its very irratating.

              Try checking the cv joint on the axles. My friend had a similar problem and it turned out her cv boots leaked and all the grease out, causing the vibration. it seemed very unlikely to me, but replacements fixed the problem.

                If you feel the vibration in the steering wheel, the front suspension or engine misfires are the likely cause.

                  Tie rods
                  Control arm bushings
                  Balljoints

                  In that order.

                    Transmission mounts? Mine were so old and worn they both split and I had vibrations. Accelerate hard in 1st gear without holding the shifter and see if it moves on its own. That might tell you if they are faulty.

                          then the u-joints in your driveshaft are toast.
