Ok when I first got my 91 hatch I noticed the brakes pulsed when i would slow down, so i changed the rotors and pads and bled the lines. Right after they were changed they still were vibrating and pulseing. I didn't do anything for a while cause i didn't know what the problem was. After a while I noticed that the shaking was getting worse. I also noticed that there was a lot of play up front. Thinking that my bushings were bad i decided to change everything up front that could allow play sway bar bushings, upper and lower control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends inner and outter, and rack and pinion bushings. I even replaced the springs and shocks all in one weekend. after that still it my brakes pulsed and shook but now with less play. Being very frustrated at this point, I figured that the new rotors were probably warped even if caused by the loose front end from before so I changed the rotors and pads again. I even changed both front calipers just to be sure. Same damn thing pulsing and vibrating coming from the pasenger front right side. I know its from the front cause if i just use my e brake it doesn't vibrate. How can this be happening Some one please help me I've done all i can figure to fix the problem and am about to drive it off a cliff if I don't figure this out?

when you replaced everything possible, did you omit the steering rack end bushing? not the rubber bushing, but the white plastic piece inside the steering rack, on the passenger side.

probably a long shot, but are your wheels balanced?

in the list of stuff you say you've replaced, did you do wheel bearings?

sorry if you mentioned it, but i didn't see it.

Well I replaced the rack and pinion bushings two smaller ones on the driver's side and one that surrounds the whole shaft on the passenger side. I didn't know there was another one. I've been trying to find it on the net this other bushing that your refering to but haven't found anything yet. Does it connect to the inner tie rod end or what? and if you have a link that has pictures, or where i could purchase it that would be very helpful thanks for replying.

well no I didn't change the wheel bearings because when I had the wheels up I tried to shake them to look for play but I couldn't seem to get any. Is that good enough measure to determine that bearings are still good or is there something
else I should do to test them? thanks for replying
