Default Vibration when steering and accelerating

Hi everyone,
My 75 decided to get me a new issue for my birthday this year :/
I had noticed for a while there was very slight hint of a vibration if you had a lot of steering input and accelerated which I didn't think much of but now there is a very prominent vibration if there is acceleration with the slightest steering input it almost feels like the wheels are skipping on a spin there is also some vibration coming through on motorway speeds that wasn't there . The car has really straight tracking so my guess is that it could be CVs going. Any thoughts or experience with this issue will be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Check tyres for pressure, BULGES on inner walls and tread also pressure and loss of balance weights.

Tyres all look good my thought would have been if there was a tyre balancing issue the car would have vibrations all the time and not just when you accelerate and steer at the same time

Check for play in the intermediate bearing on the right drive shaft , just grab the shaft and wiggle it , you will feel any play

I could feel so back and forth play which I think is normal and I think a very slight side to side play I also found a broken gaiter ring hanging on the passenger side but all the gaiters seemed in their place and fine
