diagnose the problem

My 01 Bonneville had both hub assemblies replaced in the last few months. the last one was probably a month ago, at most 2. Since that was replaced (via a friend) I've had a shake when Accelerating. It starts at about 35 mph and stops once I get to about 55/60 mph. It only happens under acceleration. I've rotated the tires and took it in for balancing, but the shake is still there. Sometimes it's pretty bad, and other times it's just barely noticeable. What am I looking at here?

Problem with the CV axles being out of balance? Maybe joint failure, maybe it was damaged during the hubs being replaced.

thats a good assumption that whoever did the hubs effed the cv axles up maybe popped the joints out

x2, they probably popped out one of the trunions. also, those CHEEP wheel bearing assemblies you buy from Murray or auto zone are junk, and usually make noise in a few months. use only timken or another quality brand.
