Vibration under acceleration only on right turns or accel. over 65

Have a 2001 GP GT. It is a great car other than it has a pretty bad vibration when under acceleration around a right turn and acceleration over 65 mph.. once at 75 it just vibrates constantly. I have read obn other forums it was the motor mount and i replaced the pass side one cuz it was all oily and broken but that did not help. I got the car on a lift at school to check the cv axels but they both had no play. the only thing i found was that i could sorta wiggle the pass side cv axel going in to the tranny like something in the tranny may have be loose but i looked at a teardown diagram online and couldnt see any bearings.
 


Have you had you tires checked for balance? When I had a tire badly worn out it would do exactly this. Now that I have a new set of front tires on all my vibs went away. Not sure on the CV play. Sounds normal to me. Have you checked the trans. mount as well, since you replaced the motor mount already? They usually die in pairs. If the trans. mount is bad it can cause the axle geometry to be off and cause all sorts of wierd issues. And its the easiest one to change, lol...
 
I just had the front tires rebalanced but ill have to check on the transmission mount, the front motor mounts that bolt to the top of the radiator saddle seem a bit worn out too .
