Front end problems

Iv had this issue with my 07 cobalt lt sense I bout it in 09. The front end shakes when I acceleration fast right in to the steering wheel. It also shakes at random intervals just going down the highway and also when I break. Iv takin it to several dealers and they can't find anything wrong. It's not the wheels or the rotares because iv balanced the wheels and turned the rotares. Break pades have been replaced and so have ball joints and it still shakes.

Worn Trailing Control Arm Bushings and/or worn strut mounts.

I had steering wheel shake. Replaced the entire control arm. So basically new ball joints, front and back bushings and new arm.

Shake went away.

I'm guessing rear control arm bushing is bad.

My car used to pulsate like it had warped rotors when braking from highway speeds. New CABs fixed this.
