are both of your track rod ends the same? because they're both supposed to be like the 1 you've got pictured

my only other thought is maybe a bent subframe or something structually bent because it sound like you're doing everything you could do to try and fix it  :undecided:

the subframe looks fine and so do both track rod ends,its was the tracking guy who said the track rod on passenger side is bent?

im going to change wishbones and track rods when funds allow and then see how it goes,until then,its only a minor shake and a minor pull to the left and ill just put up with it!

thanks guys,you've been really helpful

then a wheel bearing could be an option to consider,would it help if i told you that its worse in the morning when i start it and once warmed up,the shaking decreases a lot
