Need your help determining what the problem is…
2016 Ford Explorer Limited FWD 3.5L no Ecoboost, 63k miles

In the past 3 months coincidentally following a tire rotation, I have noticed a not so subtle vibration of my car when accelerating between 30-65 MPH. The vibration isn’t in the steering wheel and is definitely coming from the front of the car. Immediately after letting off the gas the vibration stops. I returned to Les Schwab to have them inspect tires, wheels, balance and alignment but they had said all external components looked fine and even took it for a test drive. I then had a recall fix scheduled at our local Ford dealer and asked that they take a look. They didn’t see anything unusual either but did feel the vibration during a test drive and said there would be an inspection fee if I wanted them to look into it more.

From all of the research online for probable issues it leads to the internal piece of the CV axle but I’m not sure if it is driver side or passenger side. Some other possible issues are the motor mount or torque converter.

Please let me know if you have any questions to help me identify what is going on with my car before taking it in to fork out a bunch of money. Thank you in advance!
