so i've always heard if you can move the wheel right to left...tie rods, up and down...ball joint. i changed the tie rods cause it had the slightest bit of left to right play. just very little. thought that would fix the crazy shaking but when i got done, still fn shaking exactly the same! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Need more details, shaking when? all speeds, certain speeds? only when braking, only when acccelerating? shaking the whole car or shaking just the steering wheel? When was the last time your wheels were balanced?

sorry, lol! shakes when i go over 35mph. in the steering wheel. a few weeks ago i hit a bad bump on the passenger side and it has shook up front every since. thought it was the inner tie rod but i just replaced that and it didnt help at all. the wheels arent the problem cause i thought maybe i bent a rim or something but i have two spare wheels and tires and it does the same fn thing..can a bad ball joint cause a bad shake?

Sure. the 2 tires would be fighting each other if they're both toed out or in for that matter. Do you feel any feathering on the tires?
You should also have realigned it after the tie rod swap.

is the steering wheel crooked at all now or is it still in the same spot while driving? If you messed the toe up the wheel probably wouldn't still be centered or wherever it was.
