Vibration/wobble at acceleration

2002 maxima SE. 230k. replaced wheel hubs/bearings, inner/outer tie rods, strut/shocks, lower control arms, newer brakes/rotors have been on for over 6 months. Tires are newer. Got the whole front end kit done today. Went for a drive, front end feels tight, but upon acceleration I get a vibration/wobble. The car does need an alignment. Everything was torqued by the book etc. I did not go on a long drive but I will tomorrow. Just wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions or ideas to look at. Thanks

check your inner CV axle boots. when the inner portion of the CV axle goes bad you get bad vibration, when the outer portion goes bad you hear noise when turning and no vibration.

the last two times I had a bad shake a tire shop bent my wheels putting on the tires and another time another shop just did a horrible job balancing them. I normally order tires online and would go to one of the small tire shops nearby but last time they did a horrible job so now I go to a Firestone near my job.

Rotate the back wheels to the front to see if the vibration is still there.
