Well....always try actually diagnosing before u start throwing money at the problem. That's tip #1.

Where did u buy the axles from? Remanufactured axles from auto parts stores often have issues. Look under the car while rotating a wheel and see if theres axle play or irregular movement.

Make sure u don't have a stuck caliper slide pin or piston. If one wheel has a lot more brake dust and is harder to rotate...thats a clue.

Where did u do ur alignment after the tie rods?

Are ur bushings ok? Check for cracks or missing rubber.
Are ur motor mounts ok?

Any other transmisson issues or recent abuse u can remember?

What is the condition of the tires? Try swapping those front to back or side to side to see what happens.

When did this start? After hitting a pothole? After a suspension component install? Details.

U might've been better off having a shop look at it if u don't have the expertise to diagnose the issue before putting parts on the car. Try that if u can't find the issue.

actually, i had THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM as you, and wheel hubcentric rings eliminated the problem . 20-25 bucks @ your local tire shop you just gonna know what your wheel center bore diameter is

thanks for the feed back for b serious i did check it first the tie rods were doing some play then i noticed that the axle on the driver side had alot of play thats why i replaced everithing but i just put it in the air right now and noticed that the new axle has play also were it connects to the shaft that goes in the tranny could that be my problem o and by the way i forgot to say that the tire shop did not balance one of the wheels couse it doesnt have the counter weight could that be a problem

Just because a wheel has no counter weight doesn't necessarily mean it wasnt balanced. Some wheels balance on their own with no weight. Some take weight only on one side. They should be rebalanced every 6-8k miles for regular driving.

You have to be extremely careful installing axles. Don't pull on them or let them hang by the joint. Push only. Keep pressure on them while putting the spindle over them. This is a kinda for rebuilt axles. The oem ones hold together a little better.

Either way....never ever pull on an axle u actually want to use.
