Vibration when turning and accelerating

My car is having a problem.. not the Max but another car. Can you guys help me out on this. When I take a curve the car vibrates like something is loose. I check the ball joints and everything is fine... Help

Thanks
Luis

what kind of car, how many miles, what options (4wd, engine, etc.) how hard/fast do you have to take the turn? happens turning both directions?

up to date on maintenance (including alignment)?

it is a Toyota corolla..94, 1.6l, FWD,116k miles and maintenace is up to date. It only happens in one directions... the faster you go the more it is. It only happens when you turn right and accelerates.... so have no idea on what could it be.....

might be a long shot, but CV joints.

what kind of vibration is it? do you lose traction or stability when it happens?

is it a fast, slow vibration? relative to vehicle speed or engine speed? is it violent? is it harmonic? accompanied by a noise?
