Why does my steering wheel shake when I push the gas?
If there is no vibration in the steering wheel, the origin of the vibration/shaking is unlikely to be front tires, wheels, or suspension. Vibration felt through the floorboard (or gas pedal in your case) is usually due to tire imbalance, tire defects, or excessive radial force variation, on rear axle mounted tires.
