Yeah, just looking at it isn't going to figure anything out. You have to jack the car up and check to see if the lugs are loose, and if the tire is loose. Could be a wheel bearing, or a lot of other crap

well dont HIT the throttle then.

easy fix

Is "normal skip" another name for wheel hop? The front wheel bearings are massive on the SRT-4 so my first guess would be the axle is on the way out. Other potential sources of front suspension shaking include a damage and out of round wheel, loss of a wheel balance weight, bad wheel bearing, broken engine mount, or other damaged suspension components. Try rotating the wheel front to rear and see if the vibration moves with it.

thanks for the info...is just that i took it down a hill and let it pick up speed on neutral and the car is smooth, so i figured is not the tire or suspension. as soon as i put it on gear it start to shake and wooble....so( and i dont get any shaking on the steering wheel at all) im just going to buy a new axle... i think it makes sense....i was really hoping it was something else.. thanks guys..

Its an axle... Same thing happened to me. When you get on the throttle it starts to shake a little bit.

Or your fat ass bitch is weighing it down. Either get a new axle or a new girlfriend....
