Has anyone solved the front end shakes
Just wondering if there is a cure yet for the front end shakes? I haven't been able to find one on this forum. And I really don't fell like putting money into parts that aren't fixing it.

Jesus you make is sound like its a common problem. If you feel vibrations in the front wheels of the steering wheel is could be a numerous amount of things. First check if the front wheels are balanced properly. If they are check ot and bent rims or uneven tire ware. If that still checks out maybe go in for an alignment.

The most common problem I can see is the caster bushing failing especially on higher mileage 60k+ cars. For the soft and comfort reason the caster bushing is very soft and weak. After that, the next common cause is the rim being bent or the tire/wheel assembly is out of balance. I would check into those 2 before investing too much money into replacing everything on the suspension.

I just got new tires, an alignment, and balance 2 weeks ago. It was fine for the first week and the shake just recently came back.
It sounds like I'm running on a flat tire at highway speed, and when I brake it feels like I have warped rotors. Any insight, Jeff?
