What is your question?
It shakes and it makes a really low pitch rumbling noise at low speeds during acceleration but not all the time. But often enough. I have 130K miles on it. I thought it was the coils, so I had all of them replaced but it still shimmies. OnStar says the car is not giving off error codes...I think it may be something w/tire rod maybe? I really have no idea... Help is appreciated. You know how they do women...Thanks.

Next time you drive it , as conditions allow (safety first!), isolate all different conditions that cause the symptom and also when it seems to be trouble free. The more you narrow down the exact conditions , the more we can rule out without taking anything apart or simply throwing guesses at it. Example From standing stop to 15MPH? Under load(acceleration) , left turn only , right turn only , straight only Most exaggerated at what speeds ? anything else you notice.
I can tell you it's usually on a straight-away from a standing stop - never at high speeds. The sound is at its worst right around 25 while you re accelerating but when you take your foot off the accelerator, it stops. Gently apply pressure again to accelerate, it's ok. Feels like it originates from the right front wheel area. It's almost like it gets off to a bad start. Hope that helps...
