Shudder in Steering wheel

[cxt2001]

Hey ya'll,

My problem is when I'm accelerating from a stop it does fine, then when I take my foot off the gas and it peaks out at the speed it was going to and starts to decelerate there is a shudder in the steering wheel for a sec. then it goes away....Anyone have a clue what this could be? And I've sorta noticed that when I accelerate it also vibrates a little in the floor and just in the front end I cant really tell, but if I give it more gas accelerating harder the vibration seems to stop. So its sorta two symtoms. Anyone have similar problems?? Im clueless here...

Some possibilities:
1. Transmission mount.
2. Motor mounts.
3. CV joints.
4. Center bearing on driveshaft.
5. Combination of any or all of the above.
6. Or could be stuff I never even heard of.

Good luck

Other poss is a bad ball joint or maybe an out of round tire/bent rim. None of this is happening when the brake is pushed down right?

Yeah i does not happen when the brakes are applied...Could it be an alignment problem?
