Default 4x4 wobble

seem to have a problem with my 4x4,when i accelerate hard the engine vibrates like mad,im also geting a clonk sound from both front wheels and when cornering left the o/s wheel feels like its going to fall off,the tyre also cathes the arch. i have changed the 2 engine mounts to collins items but still not solved the problem,its fully poly bushed so dont think it could be any bushes? well any one that can point me in the right direction,will be much appreciated, once again many thanks for looking

had the same sort of problem on mine a while back and it was the driveshaft. The inner joint bearings had started to break up, new driveshaft and it was good as new

Mine did this and it was a fucked hub. The wheel bearing collapsed due to the hub being very worn.
