Default Shaking wont go away again....

So I got my ball joints, tire rods (inner and outer), shocks (KYB), and rebalanced my wheels and tires, and got an alignment done and my car is still shaking....who can figure out what the problem could be on my car....I have torque thrust II wheels and Maxx v1 tires have 30psi in them. Help please!

Also I dont have any bent wheels and my steering rack is all good and fine

Hubs? Warped rotors? Does the shaking get harder with RPM increase?

Can you describe the symptoms a little better? Is is occurring at a specific speed? When accelerating or braking, or at a steady speed? If it shakes at one speed, can you "drive out of it"? Does it happen when driving straight, or when cornering? Any "growling" noises from the front wheels when they're turning?

It could be the wheels OR the tires. You need to go to a competent shop and have them inspect your wheels/tires. Could be a broken belt in a tire....how old are they?

If you have a stock set of wheels or another good set of wheels try swapping them and see what happens.

Possible the belts in one of the tires could be bad. I've had that problem before

I would suggest this before you sink money into stuff that doesn't need to replaced unless you want to. I mean it could be something as simple as bad wheels or tires.
