I’ve had this car for one day, haven’t had a lot of time to diagnose but looking for like minded people to chime in so here I am. Basically vibrates under acceleration. Seems more noticeable on the highway. It’s not terrible, but certainly annoying. My first thought are motor mounts. Any ideas?

Not necessarily, if they’re aren’t totally shot they act up only under a load. I was just curious if this was common and anyone had an idea right off. This Monday and Tuesday I’m off work so I will do some probing and report back. Does anyone have a schematic of the motor mount locations?

I think from an engineering standpoint, (and at least this instance) high RPM would be under load. Now that I think of it, though, the tranny mounts can enter into it.

I would think of a car being in gear as high resistance (with AC on, too)

When my 2008 had a vibration under acceleration, it was the inner passenger-side CV joint. Cheers!

I too have have an 06 Avalon and i notice small engine vibrations(almost like it rocks back and forth) around 1700RPM but then above that engine runs like butter. Also I had a flat one time and replaced it with the space and my car would vibrate at any speed. And lastly I had bad experience with Discount they efed up steering rack and it started leaking. My advice is to buy tires online and have dealer install and balance. Sorry for my English
