Ok. I have a 95 240 le...So my front wheels and steering wheel shakes HORRIBLY only at 60mph- 70mph. It shakes soo bad that it feels like my front wheels are going to come off. I had my bro stick his head out and look at the wheels at this speed and he states that the wheels are "wobbling" side to side therefore im getting the steering wheel shake, im assuming.

What i have done already to try to solve this problem:
new hubs
alignment twice
wheel balance twice
new front tires
new rack n pinion
new tie rod ends
new tension rods
checked all bolts to front suspension to make sure theyre torqued down

And the problem only persist to get worse. What i havent check yet are my bushings. I've also researched it and some say its an unbalanced drive shaft or u joint going bad. Im so pissed cuz i've spent alot of money trying to figure this problem out and its still here. I even had a mechanic look at it and he said its the rack, so i replaced the rack and its still here. Help me guys. My last option is taking it to nissan, but for what they will probably charge me, its not going to happen.
