arms w/ball joints,? outer tie rod ends, & radious arm bushings. Took car back cause it was still cluncking. They then replaced trac struts, & tower supports. On the way home the car was vibrating very bad, now they rebuild the drive shaft. I took the car back cause I still had vibration under my feet, stearing wheel, my seat, acceleration was very rough, & while sitting at a light the car would get a loud humming sound that hurt the ears. So they re-balanced the drive shaft and told me the car was running very smooth now. I picked up the car & it was the same. I went back again, this time the acceleration is much smoother but when I let off the gas I get very bad vibration until it gets to 25mph & lower, sitting at lights I still get loud vibration, & now when I push down on the brake to put the car in gear the gear shift clicks, & the brake makes a popping sound. Every time I pick up the car theres a new problem, another week at the shop. Any ideas on what to look for next, $3000.00 into it why stop now.
 
I would say the shop you are dealing with is replacing parts in hopes of solving the problem at your expense. You have about exceeded the value of the car in repair costs. Get another reputable shop to give an inspection and determine the cause of your problems.
 
I'm guessing that this far in to the repair, they've already checked tire balance. Have them check your steering rack - that could contribute to front end vibration.
