Default 4th Gen Accord front wheel shake
I have a constant shake in my front end, gets worse with braking. I know I have loose tie-rod ends, and Ive ordered them. Could this be a wheel bearing issue? Anyone have DIY pics of tearing apart the wheels?

Thanks, Spy

Ive had 4 sets of wheels/tires on the car, load balanced, etc. The shake is there with or without braking.

Thanks, Spy

Sorry to cut into this thread but how would you determine your wheel bearing is bad?

Rotors could be warped or uneven brake wear (calipers) if the car just shakes when your brake. Since it does it other times too then it could be a cv boot, or a whole axle.
