    Commodores are renowned for vibration when floored - this is due to many factors but basically is due to the light body and high power from the V6. It has been covered many time before and whilst some will claim success it will come at a cost.
    Unless components like ephect lists in his informative post are worn, there is no point in replacing them....but that's just my opinion.

    Searching for a needle in a haystack by asking this.

    Go to suspension place and get them to take it for a drive to zero in and reduce time wasting.

    ok thanks for ya help no rocks wish it was that easy the engine mounts do look worn so gunna change them in the new year and fingers crossed that that helps couse it worrying me. in reply to a post it is a loud noise somwhere from center to rear of the car the vibration is severe to the point where i slow right down and it is worse when i go up hills under acceleration. im only new to commodores so its a steep learning curve for me.
