NEW FD3S JDM 1993 Efini Need help with bearings! BADLY

Hey guys, I just imported a this beauty JDM RX-7 but its in poor mechanical condition, the ball bearings need replacing and it passed its province inspection by the skin of its teeth. when I turn it seems to be ok but as I give it gas,it shakes like hell!

I dare not ask away on my first post but if your interested in helping please send me a pm!

Thanks very much!

When I'm driving and turn, if I coast its seemingly ok. As I give it gas it will shake in a stutter.

KY Acceleration shake

I had a similar vibration, but only under hard acceleration. I thought it was a differential problem, but replacing rear suspension bushings solved the problem.

these things are hard to diagnose sometimes.

put it on jack stands, manually turn the wheel and see if there is extra resistance and or a sound.
