Vibration 60-80 especially upon acceleration SOLVED

Finally after many times of investigating and diagnosing, I solved my issue. I had a lot of vibration in the steering wheel and even the seats. it was horrible and the X did not feel safe. I have updated the first page as of today June 7th. I originally thought it was the front rear control arms and the steering knuckle balljoints which I replaced a few months ago and then it was still there. My very first gut feeling two years ago was the wheels but they checked out ok at a shop near me. two years later I brought my X to Al's Hubcaps in Mineola on jericho turnpike were they found the problem to be.......the two drivers side wheels both were bent. they fixed both wheels and balanced all four with there Road Force balancing machine(dont use anything else but this beautiful piece of equipment. a few hundred later and all is well. Lesson learned, take your wheels to a shop that has the best tools and youll get the job done the first time.
