Hello so long story short I got new rims and tires put on my car and so balance and alignment are okay but before that and still even now I have a lot of vibration in the car when driving and 3 shops have confirmed replacing my front cv axles one shop said to do some other things as well but a good place told me those things looked fine. So I’m just curious what is a good idea to change along with the front cv axles? Like should I replace any ball joints or wheel hub bearings? I also keep reading about some kind of seals I should get and etc? I have an 08 bmw 328xi E90 and I am not rich but I would like to know what my options are and the best route to go with fixing as I can start ordering stuff little by little then I will need a mechanics help with installations

Hello, has someone verified that the axles are actually vibrating? Yes, three shops are recommending axles, but is this certain? When does the vibration occur? What speeds? Braking or not?
As to weather bearings or other suspension components should be replaced - this guidance should be provided by the inspecting technician. They are the ones who can look at the components and determine what is needed. As a matter of normal replacement - no, axles don't require wheel bearings or ball joints to be replaced.
