Unhappy Front end shakes

I have a 1992 240sx with a front end shake. It starts to shake around 25mph and never stops. I replaced both tie rod ends and had a front end alignment, tires checked and balanced and the front end checked completely out. One mechanic said it could be a strut problem but I am out of ideas. Please help, thanks.

what kinda shaking?

could be a rack bushing, loose front brace, worn tension rod bushings, missing bolts, completely HAMMERED struts/springs, could be alot of things...

take it to some techician that knows what they are doing, and if they dont fix your problem or tell you NO PROBLEMS FOUND, sue their A$$.

was the car in a previous accident?

other than what carparthookup listed... could also be ball joints, bad wheel bearings, bent hubs, loose steering UJ (not good!)... there's a lot more. It can also be a bubbled up tire (no joke - happened to a friend's car last week).

Define the shaking.

are your tires unevenly worn.
