What is your question?
Had the struts, bushings & tie rods(inner & outer ) and still shaking and now when I turn the steering wheel it makes a kinda grinding sound. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am running out of money having already spent $2500.00 so far. P.S. I have already had the tires all balanced and an alignment after tie rods.

Hello, my "guess" is that you have an axle shaft vibrating. Left or right. Or even both! A good physical inspection of the vehicle running in the air will show an out of round axle shaft pretty readily. Have a local shop help you with this.

Hi, Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and share your knowledge. I took it to a shop and he said it is the CV axle. Is $700.00 a fair price to replace it? Anyways thanks again and have a beautiful day!!!!
Hello, original equipment axles do list out in the mid-$500 range for the parts alone, so this probably isn't a bad deal. However, you may want to call some other local shops to compare quotes, and you could also try a local non-manufacturer aftermarket parts store to see if a quality non-Mini remanufactured axle is available for your Mini. If so, you could save hundreds of dollars. Worth some calls. It may be that none are available, but it's possible that some are. Good luck!
