Please help
I have a 2013 C30. I’ve had nothing but issues with it. I’m currently trying to figure out why I’m having vibrations when accelerating. I’ve already replaced both front axles and it actually made it worse! I have no idea what to do. One mechanic said that all four wheels are bent but I have no way to test it before going out and buying all new wheels. I’m freaking out y’all.

bent wheels can be diagnosed at a tire shop with a high speed balancer. Start with the fronts. I think it would be rare to have four bent wheels - particularly if you don't recall a traumatic event (like slamming into a speed bump). Also, it takes quite a bit to bend an OEM wheel. I've hit stuff hard enough to blow out a sidewall hitting a pothole with no damage to the rim. Did your mechanic inspect the motor and transmission mounts?

just an FYI I bought it used so there is no telling who did what to it before I had it. I’ve replaced the PCV Box, the cam seals, the axles on both sides in the front. I’ve spent a ton of money and I just keep throwing blind darts. No one can figure it out. I’ve had the mounts inspected and one person says I need new ones and somebody else said they are fine. I’m at a loss for words. It’s so frustrating. I’ve had it aligned and two tires out of balance and fixed those.

sometimes you can't tell if the mounts are bad until you take them out and they fall apart in you hand :-) A good starting point is to take a close look at the one on the timing belt side of the engine - you may be able see looking by removing the passenger front tire then opening the door in the inner fender.
