'02 - Front end shake on moderate to hard right turns.....

So on any moderate or harder turns, I get so shaking in what feels like the drivers front wheel. I have rotated the tire and took it to a few places that did the whole up, down, push pull on the tire and they say they cant find anything wrong. The owner previous to me installed new half shafts, is it possible it is that? I thought that if it was it would take a lot less than a harder turn to feel an issue with the half shaft.

Shops said struts, tie rods, ect look good........

Thoughts?

Check the conditions of the lower and upper control arm bushings. If they are heavily worn then the suspension will have play and it will bind up only when you turn and put stress on it. Check those ball joints too, my ball joint was literaly ready to pop off on my max.

Mine was shaking when I turned the wheel. Turned out to be the cv shafts.
