My cb7 was shaking like crazy, so I replaced the motor mounts and it has drastically stopped the shaking but it allowed me to realize that there was more too it. Im thinking it's a bad cv axle but I'm not quite sure.i can feel when giving it gas that there's resistance to t, like the wheels are wanting to come up off the ground with each rotation, and it's stealing power from me. When I put in the clutch the feeling stops, even if I'm just letting go of the gas or going down hill. But if I'm climbing up a hill the problem is the worse. And over the duration of driving it gets worse. Then sometime it won't be so bad until I drive it for a while! What some things it could be. And how may I find out for sure? The seal for the cv axle shaft looks like it may not be in place perfectly, but I couldn't say for sure

Heavy shaking under acceleration
Collapse
X
-
If it shakes under acceleration or climbing, but not on coasting. It is likely a cv joint. If it shakes more under load when turning one way than the other, that's also a good cv joint problem indicator.
If you jack it up (jack stands) get under the car and have someone rotate the wheels. You are likely to hear the cv joints clicking or clunking.
This is DIY-able work but it involves several steps that are likely to be significant challenges for a first timer (removing the axel nut, disassembling much of the suspension on one side, getting the new axle back into the transmission). When I did it I had taken the suspension apart many times already for various reasons and it still took hours. As long as you've got it apart it's a good time to replace the wheel bearing. If you're doing that one one side, might as well do the other. If your rotors are getting to end of life, they are a pain to replace but would be easier now. It adds up...==========================
