Can’t figure out why my car shakes
Before you say it I have had and alignment, new tires, rotation and balance, passenger cv axel replaced, so pretty much the car starts to vibrate a bit at 50 and shakes More the harder I press the gas pedal Through 50-60 then clears up and drives smooth after that, any ideas on what else can cause this
If you feel shaking in the 50-65 MPH range, but not under and over, then it's likely a tire balance issue or bad tire.
Some tires are "out of round" and just because they balance it doesn't mean they did a good job.
Only other thing I can think of is engine mounts

I'm inclined to believe it is either a bad axle (or axles) or a bad tire (or tires). Yes, yes, yes, I know, the OP said the axles have already been replaced. Yeah, about that; my TL, (basically a tarted up Accord) had a speed sensitive vibration which prompted me to change the axles; I swapped in a new set of AutoZone DuraLast axles, and the vibration was maybe slightly improved, but definitely still there. A year later I replaced the axles again, this time with a new pair of APWI (well regarded in Acura circles), and BINGO, smoothness!
By the way @Maudh Alraggad, what kind of car do you have?

I have a 2005 accord ex so i bought it like this with the shake thinking it would be a simple fix, since I have had the car I have had brand new tires put on and balance short after, that didn’t work so I got and alignment. After that didn’t work I replaced the axel on the passenger side. Another alignment later it still doing the exact same thing no matter what I do, no better no worse, lastly I jacked the front end up and brought the speed up to 55 no shake

Always replace axles in pairs. I have an 07 accord and changed my axles 60k miles ago. I had to change them twice and never got the initial take off vibration to disappear. 2 months ago I finally chose to change the brand and all the vibration went away. Thanks to advance auto my old ones still were under warranty so I got a refund.
