Help!! Shaking steering wheel on acceleration

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I bought a 2001 X5 a couple of years ago and we have replaced a few suspension parts in the past. Air spring in the back to the control arm in the front.

However recently we've been experiencing the steering wheel shakes violently during medium to strong acceleration. I've checked all the bushing and they seem to be in good shape.

Before I bring it to the shop or do it myself, I want to get some feed back from you guys what to expect and to see if anyone ran in to this problem before.

Thanks,
tilua

It's very difficult to diagnose on the internet. I would start with axles/CV joints. Next upper and lower ball joints, then idler arm, tie rods. If they are all good, I would check rotors, maybe check for a bad motor mount.

I am sorry that this is a vague answer. I just wanted to give you the order that I would start to look at things.
