Just because it's not true for you, doesn't mean your car is the s2k crystal ball to base judgements on.
I didn't diagnose your car either. There are many types of vibrations than can develop. I know most of them, and I know which one is caused from a pitted CV joint.
This thread is like a noise thread. It's hard to fix something you can't hear, or feel in this case.
The bucket swap is his best chance.

its just that i can't seem to know what the problem is now. I lowered the car, then i experienced vibration under WOT from 40-50. Then I got my wheels rebalanced and that made it a little better. Then i read up and got some more info on CV joint swapping from left and right, and i did that also and it still shook, but not as bad as before but still very noticeable. So that last thing i did was align my car since i haven't done so after the drop. It made the shaking even worse
Im just soo confused and i can't seem to be diagnosed with the right problem. Any other input you guys can think of?
Luder94 told me it can be my diff also. He quotes:
Open up the diff case, clean off everything and start looking for cracks in the diff carrier. Something tells me you have a diff trying to pivot out because it's loose in the carrier. It shows itself under heavy to moderate acceleration. If it persists, it will grow into a vibration on ANY gas. Then the carrier will either give way, or the diff will have moved off center enough to cause damage to the ring and pinion gear. The damaged ring and pinion will flake off as metal bits and those metal bits will ultimately be the end of your current rear end.
as of now, you may just have to replace your housing. However, if it gets worse, you may be on the hook to replace the ring and pinion, and if it gets even worse, you may have to do the whole differential.
