Not the rear driveshaft, either.

Wow. Uh...

So...

- Had three different places rebalance the wheels/tires
- Replaced passenger side wheel bearings
- Replaced passenger side u-joint
- Replaced passenger side ball-joints
- Replaced both front brake rotors
- Replaced trackbar
- Checked and double checked all bolts on the front end and rear
- Checked and double checked tie-rod
- Pulled and checked steering stabilizer, it's still solid
- Disconnected front driveshaft
- Disconnected rear driveshaft -- so it's not a driveshaft or u-joint

I'm completely out of ideas now... :)

Have you checked the motor and transmission mounts?

What about the harmonic balancer (lowest pully on engine)
make sure it's not walking off. Those can make vibrations
if they start to separate and rotate around the rubber isolator.

Did you check the fan on the radiator for clutch play? It will wiggle
if bad.

It is amazing the vibration that can come out off that little sucker
like I mentioned. It got bad enough I thought my passenger front wheel
was going to fall off and I had to pull off the highway to check it.
