I know online diagnostics are the worstt sometimes, but lemme try my luck. So when I accelerate lets say between 15-30MPH I feel a slight vibration, it goes away after that not too sure what it is, anyone car to chime in, much appreciated thanks.

your wheels probably need to be re-balanced. change your tires this weekend and see if hte problem exists still. keep us updated.

hmmm, is the vibration tolerable or you looking for completely silky smooth? it could be improperly torqued bolts, loose steering column, and dirty/rusty hubs just to name a few.
