Default Driver side suspension help.

Okay, so I have a '98 Civic EX 4-door. Ever since I bought it, the front driver side wheel felt odd. I took it to a shop, and they said it was the tie rod. I asked my mechanic friend, and he said it was the inner tie rod specifically. I got the tie rod, replaced it, got an "alignment," and the driver side front wheel still feels weird while driving. It seems too sensitive, like I can feel every single crack and minor bump in the road. It also still feels like it vibrates from time to time like the tie rod is still bad. Help please!

jack the car up and wiggle the wheel if its loose could be a bad wheel bearing. easy to check while inspecting the bushings etc.
