check your motor mounts, a broken motor mount could cause the front end to "vibrate" when accelerating

Just an idea, could have nothing to to do with your issue

Another thing that only vibrates on acceleration is axles. Particularly the inboard CV joints.

Lift the front of the car & support it really solid. Grab the axle & try to shake it. If the inboard end of the axle has some looseness, that could be the problem. Try to move the axle up & down, or forward & back. Not in the direction of the axle centerline.
