Default Shaft vibration

Hi all
Accord 05 Automatic transm 5 speed, 4cil 4dr 2.4 l
Car was vibrating very much to the sides when accelerating aprox at 50-60 mph, or any medium -hard acceleration,
after acceleration, or at steady speed car stops vibrating and rides perfect.
Ilubricated joints and imporovedd a little bit, and finanly changed rigth (passenger side )shaft asssmbly.

problem reduced 80% , still vibratesto the sides when accelerating, much much less than before,
I will lubricate left joint , before replacing left shaft assembly, is there a chance
1- I need to change driver sideshaftasssembly also
2- Vibaration colud come from some where elseand wont be reduced more.

NOTE THAT CAR HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, was parkedfor 6 monthsand fixed. thats the reason both shafts could be not straigth.

Thanks for your comments
sorry for the explanation, it is not very technical

I hate to tell you, but the accident could have caused some damage that will neverallow the car to be "normal" again.

^x2. Control arms, linkages, tie rods, ball joints, etc. could all be bent and then even if you replaced those, where they mount to the chassis could be screwed up as well.

your brakes dragging a bit or warped rotors as well as bad motor mounts could possibly cause those issues as well.... is anything bent or damaged currently?
