Car started vibrating really bad after I changed a bad spark plug and coil. What could be the issue?

Did you change all of the spark plugs because it sounds like you may have cracked one. If there is a check engine light that will tell us which cylinder is having the problem.

No check engine light. It vibrates when I accelerate until the car reaches thirty to forty mph and levels out until braking and the vibration returns. I was told it could be a bad tie rod.

Is the car vibrating or the engine? Can you shoot a quick video of the problem and upload it here in your response?
