he's asking about his car shaking, now about an alignment problem, lol.

make sure you have the suspension tight. make sure the lugnuts are torqued down.

yeah assuming that you have everything tight, Id guess that it is your CV joints. If not that, Could be your motor mounts maybe?

If it happens during braking, then rotors.

Id guess something in your axles/cv joints though. Even if you have recently replaced them they could be bad. I used to buy lifetime warrenty ones from kragen, and i one time i got a new one but it shook worse than the old one.

Make sure that your tire pressure isn't low. Probably not it, but it would cause shaking and is simple enough to check.

Dont think its the ball joint, that wouldn't make it shake, It would make a klunk noise when you go over a bump. Most likely something to do with your wheel, might be out of balance. And this shaking is all the time? Or only when breaking?

get new axles. end of story, had the EXACT same problem with my old prelude. took me forever to figure out what it was, i had 2 new axles on it and about 3 days later it started shaking again. then i went and told the guys i dont want any shitty remans anymore i want brand new axles... got them, put them in, never had a shake after that, and i had the car for liek 6 months after that.

i doubt its the alignment due to the fact that the shaking and vibration start less then a week ago.
