Vibration/knocking issue (Checked and searched)

I replaced a bad front driver's side shock on my dad's accord (95 LX sedan) and now there's a really bad vibration. Axle boots are fine and there's no play in the hub area. I checked, rechecked, and checked again every bolt that was touched and everything's torqued to spec. When braking, vibration seems to go away but now the brakes kinda squeak. Knocking gets worse when speed increases. Any ideas? I don't know how the axle or wheel bearing would've been affected by this.

I know this sounds gay, but... are your lugs tightened correctly?

Yes, that was the first thing i checked.

I drove it probably another 3 miles before i got home and checked everything, and the lugs seemed WAY tighter than 80lbs... I have no idea what's goin on.
