Have you taken it to a FRONT END shop... one that specializes only in alignment? They would tell you whats wrong.

I had the same problem for a while.

I replaced my steering rack (with a used unit), bushings, rod ends, ball joints, CONTROL ARM BUSHINGs and that finally cleared it up.

Smallwood--we are not giving up on you but i think there is something you are missing when you are telling us about the problem. There can only be so many variable--after that--it comes down to bent parts........

As suggested above and by me--take it to a guy WHO knows suspensions----go to the race track or wherever and get a guy who is a guru in this area and be willing to pay out the money...

You have a serious issue--you dont need a general practitioner--You need a Surgeon

Alright finaly got it checked out at a specialty import place and right away they saw that the rear control arm bushings were totally shot. I didnt even think to check the rear because it felt like the front was where the problem was. but sure enough got them replaced and it feels like a new car...no more shaking!

Congrats, it's never a waste of money or time to take a vehicle to someone who actually knows what they are doing and what to check.
