Default Random Front End Shaking

i have a 95 lude and the front end will start to shake at random times mostly at slower speeds under 50 if i hit the brakes it get's worse and slowly goes away for a day my ideas are eather axel's or bearings. . . all new balljoints axels are 1-2 years old Bearings never changed 278000 miles tires have been balanced just had an allingmint, may be the Bearings but i don't hear any wiered noises. . . any ideas . .

Probably not axles, those usually only cause vibration upon accerleration.

Could be bearings, but those usually start to make noise before they cause vibration. You can jack the car up and try to wiggly the wheel by hand and if the bearing is bad it will have play.

Check your ball-joints and suspension bushings for wear or play and you also might want to have your alignment checked.

you know my car did the same thing when i first got it, on long drives it would shake, just like you described, usually after sudden braking: and continue when i would brake until i came to a stop and let it sit for a while, i have it had it happen in a long time: but now the car vibrates under accleloration between 30-50 mph, i have a thread describing it, any way i dont remember how i stopped it.
