I lived with the 'vibration when accelerating' thing with my T5 for years, only slight mind you.

Renewing the rear lower engine mount/stabiliser helped.

Good condition lower wishbones help.

Track rod ends must be sound.

Good tyres up front help a lot - I've had out-of-shape tyres produce vibration and out-of-balance tyres too.

To be fair I think these chassis are so sensitive the slightest thing not right send the whole thing out of spec.

My car has never felt so 'right' since fitting Michelin Pilot Sport tyres - it just instantly settled down.
