Good morning and welcome to just answer. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will assist you today. I am sorry you are having this issue but hopefully I can help. When you say it is shaking upon acceleration, is it like an engine misfire or a power train shaking? Does the check engine light flash when it shakes? Chris

It's like a rumbling sound only when I'm actually moving the car and no check engine light flash

Okay thanks for the picture. It looks like you have a worn out driveshaft isolator. Have that rubber isolator replaced and also have the driveshaft's center support bearing checked and replaced if worn. That should take care of the problem. I hope this helps and thank you again for using just answer. Chris

No problem
