Default engine vibration during acceleration on long corners

Hey guys, when Im going around long uphill corners under acceleration I get some vibration in my car. Does this sound like it could be motor mounts? I dont notice this at all unless Im cornering and accelerating. Obviously Im rarely accelerating on these corners going downhill to the same extent. Any ideas what this could be? Ive recently swapped over to Ohlins but the problem has been there for a long time before that.

It's either tires or inboard CV cups are pitting.

My fix is to buy passenger side used axles. Those are the only ones you can find on the flea bay, and it's the driver side that pits, so if you buy a passenger side axle, there's an 80% chance it has no pitting. Take that cup and put it on your driver side axle. Then put your old cup, on the passenger axle and sell it to one of the remanners. They take the old cups, weld over them then grind the welds flush and sell them as remanned axles. All in I'm out ~$90 for a replacement cup I can use for a good 4-5 years, which is the same price as axle spacers. It's just a little more work to pull the axle from the car, but a little sweat costs less than a new cup from Honda.

In fact I already planned ahead and bought a mint passenger axle with a prestine inner cup. I plan to swap it out with the driver side cup once the shaking comes back.
