A few other parts I’ve replaced before this are the 3 engine mounts- they are OEM Mazda and have about 20k on them. The front end feels a bit tighter, but it still feels sluggy and shakes like crazy when accelerating.. any thoughts?

So, my ’05 3i 200k/mi started shaking really bad (I mean really bad- so bad that I thought the car was going to literally come undone) during acceleration, right after I had the two front axles replaced. (Shady-tree mechanic work) When I brought it back, he replaced the ‘carrier’ bearing- I’ll admit I’m not exactly sure what that is.
