Allignment, wheels out of balance, problems with some rubbers, disks that are not straight, damaged wheel etc.
What kind of vibration do you feel and what speeds?

It vibrates when accelerating at low speed. It cannot be alignment or balancing as sometimes the vibration not there. I was suspecting maybe the inner CVs are failing.

Could be rubber mounts on the suspension or gearbox/engine. Those rubber bits are super weak to reduce vibration.
Slipping clutch might do that too.

CVs you will hear as clicking usually, at least on the outer.

Mine shudders when accellerating in a high gear at low speed (me being lazy. don't do that). The engine is shuddering when it struggles, but the worn out mounts (control arm and strut mount) accentuate this a bit.
