Default 95 caravan , front end vibrations?

I have a 1995 dodge caravan 2.5 , 3 spd automatic caravan.

The problem is when you give it gas at any speed the front end shakes.
I replaced the passenger side drive axle/c/v, and it still shakes.

The one thing i have noticed is it will only do this while in drive giving it gas, it wont do it in neutral coasting , and is worse going up hill.

?....could the other axle be the problem?
..... could it be the transmission?
This all happened out of the blue with no other issues .

thanks

does it do it in a slight turn? That usually indicates axle. Maybe check for worn mounts too.

Welcome to DF
I agree with tizzy, you may have either bad motor mounts or drive axles.
