Bad vibration

When accelerating I get a bad vibration between 40-60 mph and also when under a load. It is on a 08 pathfinder with the v6. I have changed the spark plugs but that hasn't fixed the problem. Are there any suggestions?

Just was sure it was the motor. If I let off the gas and coast it quits but starts again when I hit the gas

Going to install u-joints. Would it have a steel yoke or a aluminum yoke? 08 SE Pathfinder 2WD

Make sure your front wheels are balanced. They kinda cause shaking around 60mph(100km/hr) if they are not.

It's usually one of the front ones (it spins in 2WD too). I went for extra credit and had a bent front driveshaft at the same time.
