Shaking problem.
Hi, i have a very annoying shaking problem on my accord lx 90 4 door.
My steering wheel shake a lot when this problem is present. But the worse thing is that shaking not alway's happen. It can appears when i drive slow or fast. Never the same. And also it makes my suspension goes bad. I have test my shock and it looks good. But i have less traction than before this problem appears. I have disconnect the power steering system and the problem is always there.
When i take a curve with small bumps or hole at low or hi speed the problem is worse. When i drive slowly to enter in a parking my steering shake badly when i take the bump stop or some crack in the road. But when the problem is not here my suspension goes very well. Some say's it could be a wheel bearing but i have only a small noise come from the left. And the guy's who balanced it the last time check all the parts and say that he don't find any part are soft or broken. This problem is accentuated when i brake but it did'nt happen only when i brake.
I have change the two drive-axl, the two lower ball joint, the upper ball joint on the steering side and the complete braking system(pads,calliper and rotor). I have change 3 times my tires and rims and rebalanced each times and align the car too.
I know it could be a worn bearing or a tie rod problem but after 4 garage i did no one can find the problem. The guy's who sold me the car change the shock and the spring, he bought it in a scrap yard. Is it possible that i have a bent shock? Because the suspension goes well up to down but bad on lateral work. And the fact that this problem is intermitent i think it could be a moving parts like bearing or shock or rubber joint in control arm or othere part that i did'nt know the name.
Please help me if you can.

it sounds you got a lot of things covered ...it sure sounds like a loose or worn suspension part ,,,i would not think it is tie rods because they would have noticed then worn when they aligned the car ,,to chk if bearing is loose just raise car up and move wheel side to side see if there is any play ,,axle nuts tight??
question did a shop do all the work or did you do it yourself , did they use factory parts? double chk that all the suspension components are tight?? chk your radius rods, make sure frt + rear beams are tight also chk the p/s rack mounting bushings....and again dbl chk that all that was replaced is tight and properly installed
