Default help plz. ek hatch front end shakes.

i got an ek hatch with an ls swap problem is front end shakes pretty rough only between 25-30 mph as soon as i hit 30 its smooth. when im driving at about 50-60 sometimes i can kinda feel like something bind. like it slows alittle and releases but no shaking. and the binding is real light. anyone have any idea?

can you describe the binding in depth, is it motor related or just unbalanced wheels?

no nothing to do with tires or wheels sorry i didnt write that before. my wheels were just recently balanced. tires are new. when i take off i get into second gear front end shakes not sure what it is starts at about 25 mph and stops at 30 mph. after that it rides smooth.

im not sure what it is if it was unbalanced wheels it would be fixed by now. and motor related i doubt. motor seems to run strong. mounts look good. im kinda thinking axle i changed passenger side axle but still doing it so i guess im gonna go buy a driver side. does autozone or anyone sell the intermediate shaft too?
