front end shake. so lost

ok guyes i have a 1997 nissan maxima. its a 5 speed. when im driving the front end feels like the passanger side feels like a whooble feels like the tire is not tighten. but they are i checked 5 time and even made sure it sitting on there right. when i checked to see if its seating proply i shook the front end down. (brand new control arms, tie rod inner and outer ball joint that have been on for about 4-5 months now) and its all fine. what dont make sencse to me is its only makeing the whooble when its in gear. (as in the clutch is let out.) once i push the clutch in i can rev it up and nothing heppens. soon as i let the clutch out it whoobles. i havent had to much time to look into it just askin opion. i want to say its a motor mount? any ideas?????????

Check to see if your lower radiator support is rotted out in the middle.

Could be an unbalanced tire. I got a wobble the other day and noticed my balances were gone from the rim.

Have you put that Fix-A-Flat crap in any of the tires?

Sway bar bushings and end links. Check them.

wellll to elminate the tires. i changed the front to tires for the race track and it started right after i changed them on the way to the track so i thought they where loose so i tightened them and it still was there so i put my regular rims back on(g35) and i sitll have it. the 2 front tires are brand new. and ill check the rad support. my friends dad said check the axel he said it is a drive line vibration witch would come down to an axel witch is i was gonna look at next. we just talked at a family party nothin to crazy so im going to take it apart monday. i have been to busy. i just want some places to go after to start looking. i will post an update asap.
