Rough drive when accelerating?
I have an AP2 with fresh tires on it. The car has a rougher ride when accelerating almost like its out of alignment or the tires aren't balanced. Here's the weird part, it only has that feeling when I'm accelerating. When I put the car in neutral and cruise or let off the gas the feeling goes away. Any ideas what it may be?

Your CV buckets are pitted. There is a DIY for swapping. You basically take apart your axles and swap the buckets from one side to the other. This allows the bearing to not trammel (ride in and out of) the pitted spot under acceleration. Or you can buy axle spacers that will move the bearing out of the spot. It will come back after time. It will happen wether your car is lowered or not. Its just the nature of the CV axles.
Also while you are at it. Make sure you retorque your axle nuts. There is also a DIY on that in this section of the forums.
