C70 Shaking under acceleration - Page 2

I just had the same thing with my 2011 C70 T5. I ended up doing both sides and then had them re-done because of a problem and a warranty issue with the original replacements. Still isn't 100% smooth but is mush better

Jack one side of the car up so the wheel hangs loose, rotate that wheel a few times then lower and take the car for a drive. If the vibration disappears, albeit only temporarily, it will be the inner joint on that side. If no difference try on the other side. This process moves the inner spider in the joint to a less worn part, but it soon reverts to it's 'normal' position after driving.

put money on it being driveshafts

Both driveshafts have been replaced, there was play in both inner cv joints. It drives better now but still not 100% in my opinion. It's developed a knock now so will go back for ball joint and drop link and see how it goes. Not convinced the shaking isn't going to come back soon.

No i didn't, i used quality aftermarket ones. I sell car parts for a living and took the chance that my premium brand would be up to scratch.
