Default alignment still shaking!!!!

I have a 90 crx lowered I don't know how much but I am running the kr/kl14 knuckles from what I believe came out of a da. I had a bad wheel bearing so I replaced the knuckles with the same exact kr/kl14 knuckles and for some reason it made my alignment go out of whack so I did the back woods string and jack stands trick and it is dead on but I still get shaking while driving straight at slow and high speeds, it also shakes when turning both ways. What I need is someone to give me some ideas on what it could be or a shop that will do a balance and alignment to my car.

Sounds more likely that you have some ball joints or bushings that are blown.

the tires are fine, the ball joints are very stiff to move by hand, and the wheel bearings do not make any noises plus the wheel shake down test passed with flying colors

What condition are the LCA bushings and oem tie rod bushings if you don't have an aftermakret traction bar setup. Sounds like your lca has some play from somewhere and the crx suspension design leaves alot to be desired of as far as that goes.

i have energy tie rod bushing that can't be more than 2 years old. my lca have zero play side to side. i actually think i found the problem and i think it may be that my axle on the driver side isn't going all the way into the tranny, i've messed with it for 2 days and i just went and got a "BRAND NEW" not re-man. axle and it is doing the same thing where it's just not going in all the way, i used as much elbow grease i had to get it but i am to the point where i want to just get rid of it so unless someone gives me a for sure way to get that bitch in you'll see both my crx and my hatch up with everything i got for trade

Couldn't hurt to have the tires checked. If you can bring the tires by my shop, I can check them for you.
