Default Massive vibration during acceleration and sterring issue

i searched and everyone says cv joints just replaced them all in perfect condition ... what else could it be ...

When i accell i feel vibration ... but only in the steering ... liek the harder i accel the worse it is ... and then @ 50 or higher in fifth gear there is a continuos vibration occurring... just the other day i found out that i have a sterring problem ... that either the inner or outer tir rods are shot cuz i cant lock the sterring wheel and the pass wheel will still move about 1/4 inch in either direction..

Any suggestions with this issue will be greatly appreciated

my car used to do this, it was Heavily warped and crappy dry rotted tires to fault. try getting your tires rotated and see if the performance changes.

if it does i'd go ahead and buy new tires

my boy looked at it already he said that when i moved the wheel the tie rod looked like it was jumping ... so i am almost 100% sure the tie rod is ******* toast....

try jacking up the car and grabbing your wheels individually and see if they have any play. maybe berings or something, try that
