Default Vibration under acceleration

A while back I had notice that I started to get some vibration under acceleration, both casual driving and some under hard pulls. I figured it would be the axles considering one of them had a tore boot and I was getting quite a bit of clicking when turning. I replaced both driver and passenger side axles this week with brand new ones but am still getting vibration. It's not just the steering wheel too, the whole car shakes quite a bit. What else could it possibly be that coule be causing this? Thanks

Wheels balanced, or any bends in the wheel?

No bends in the wheels. I also just rotated them less than 100 miles ago. New tires less than 1,500 miles ago too.. It also did the vibration before the new tires.

might want to also check for worn bushings, worn shocks, worn ball joints, and loose suspension bolts.

Probably loose/worn bushings and poor alignment settings.
