I have a real bad vibration in my car (evo 6.5) when I'm going around corners. Doesn't happen when I'm going slow but at 50kph plus it's starts. Feels like only when the weight is shifted to that side. This happens turning both ways but only on sharpish corners or long sweeping corners. Any ideas would be grate. Have tried numerous things. This is all evo 6.5 gear transplanted in to a evo 5 shell.

If the vibration shakes the steering wheel, hen id check the tie rod ends. If its just a hummy kind of growling then id check for a bad wheel bearing. If its more pronounced in one direction than the other then the noise usually gets louder on the side the car is leaning into.

I have put brand new tie rod ends in both sides, got a wheel alignment, and had both wheel bearings replaced. Non of the above have slightly improved the problem. Have had a few people say inner cvs and/or front drive shaft problem. Your opinion on it?

It could be those things, but I wouldn't replace any more parts until theyre checked. Id have he car lifted and inspect all the axles and drive shaft joints. Also check the control arm bushings. Check, don't replace until you know whats bad. Look for split or crumbling control arm bushings and any other rubber parts anywhere theres a moving suspension part
