I had a slight vibration in my steering wheel and thought it might be rotation and balancing needing done. So I had it done and it turned into a wobble. So I paid for an alignment. Still vibrated. Shop looked and said my front end tie rod needed replacing, so I did it. Still vibrating and pulling to the right now! Had a friend drive it and they said get an alignment. So I went to the dealership this morning for the alignment. Still vibrating! My tires are good and the tread is great with no uneven wear. I'm in the hole $600.00 and have no answers on what is going on. Could it be CV joint or something that is not normally looked at? Please help me I don't know what to do anymore and this car is my baby.

Yes it could be. Here is a guide that runs through the basic things that we need to check and go from there:

Once we know when it vibrates, acceleration, braking, coasting we can get further into it. Let us know if there is a speed that it starts or if there is a way that it stops like accelerating harder, softer, etc.
