Front end needs an alignment, needs new cv joints, or the tires need to be balanced...

motor mount? check those. with the car running (congrats on fixing it btw!!!!) have your right foot on the brake and your left on the clutch. slowly let out the clutch but not enough to let the car die but as to just engage it. if motor mount is bad the engine should "rock". i would say balancing of tires but you mention that you can hear and feel it under the car.....what exactly can you hear....and feel....what speeds.....accelerating ...braking?

ok....when you have your front end off the ground.....(make sure steering wheel isnt locked) and shake the wheel side to side......if you have play you shoudl be able to feel it. also shake wheel up and down. and then put the car in neutral and spin the front tire. let me know what you find...

check:

alignment
tie rods (usually inner)
lower torque engine mount
wheel balance
