Advanced diagnosis help needed

I'm stumped bros I have had a shake I can't get rid of for the life of me on my car

I have replaced the following parts over the past year

all ball joints tie rod ends, all bushings spindle etc

I have talked to many a techs and they can't give any ideas that I haven't tryed or replaced

I wish I had a damn dial guage to check the run out on everythign that moves

the shakes get worse the more it tighens up ie bushings ball joints

the wheel has a slight shimmy at super low speeds has brake pulsation intermitently (weird as ****) like medium force on brakes it will shake harder or soft and no shake

I found that the one slider on the passenger side is seized so that could be the culpret of some sort

the drivers spindle was warped so I replaced that with a used one. the only thing not 100% new is the brakes on the drives side.

the alignment is off but that woudl not explain the brake pulsation that comes intermitently.

so to cap it off my slider is seized on the pass side and I have no time or patience anymore cause I don't have the right tools to check run out wheel balance etc.

I will take it in to get alignment and have them try to figure this thing out

it's just slow speed and braking

have you checked the cv joints, motor mounts, wheel balance. From waht you say, id throw a set of pads and rotors on make sure everything is free , then take it out for a road test. If you need it done, pm me

I'm gonna throw a drivers tie rod on cause I probobly ****ed it up using a 4 foot breaker bar on the axle nut and lifting the car in the air doing so...lol...probly ****ed the alignment more aswell

that along with alignment

after that it might be the spindle that is warped (problem with drivers spindle)

if that does not fix it is has brand new ish everything so that woudl mean something it bent (not likely ) or warped (spindle)

A bent rim or an out of round tire? usually wheel balance is between 80 - 100 anything below and above would be a bent rim or out of round tire.

ya dudes I was thinking rim aswell...but the symptoms are weird.

I took it otu last night for another test drive and by how it feel it feel like wack alignment and a pooed tie rod. cause when you brake it feels like the tie rod is abit loose. because sometimes it will brake perfect.

so tie rod goes on when I get some time and alignment

the seized slider would cause the caliper to bind on one side and warp the hell out of that rotor. fix the known problems first, like the slider and alignment, and prolly a new rotor too.
