Default wtf is it now!!!!

last month i posted a cry for help concerning my integra. basically it acts funny when going over bumps and tends to steer itself in the direction that the imperfections in the roads lead it too. So i take it to a shop and they put in a new driveshaft and tie end rod for the the right side of my car. Naturally being broke i declined the four new tires and alignment. Well as i'm driving to work the next day i take it over 50 and to my surprise my integra begins to shake violently in the front. Violently can not properly emphasize the shaking that occurs. so the next day i call my shop and tell then about the problem. Their response was that i'm just feeling the difference the new parts make without a proper balance and alignment. the problem is i don't thing an alignment problem would cause such heavy vibrations, since i have had bad alignment in the past with other cars. Well anyways i'm turning to you people the good folks of this forum for a second opinion. btw i have a 2001 gs=r and it still steers in watever direction it wants too

balance of wheel could do that, what did they tell you was wrong with the car when they replaced the parts?

i knew the cv joint needed to be replaced (clunking sound) so i brought it in and told them to inspect the entire front suspension and steering components and they just said i needed a new tie end rod.

also they said that my tires were pretty worn out and that they don't want to do an alignmwnt without new tires on the car. i figured that there might be a chance i have a warped rim so i decided it's best to find new wheels along with tires.

might need your wheels balanced. (steering wheel shaking).

violently shaking? bent rims?

other then that, take it back to the same shop and let them test drive it.
