help with car with video.
My car was driving fine then out of know where i got steering shakes. Tire shop says passenger hub, or cv. Thing is i checked cv, hubs engine tranny mounts, and all steering parts it all seems tight. When giving light gas only causes steering wheel to rock hard, even lugging 4th at 25. Car drives straight can floor it 40-80 no hands straight as a aarow. sometimes when it shakes it makes a clunking noise. All this is around 25_50 mph tires have been rebalanced. I have video feel free for ? and suggestions.

Just because a tire balances, it doesn't mean there's not a know or separated belt. It could be a bad tire. Start rotating rims and see if the vibration changes.

I also think it's the CV going out.
Happened to my shadow just before i traded it in for my 'balt.
Get the front on JackSTANDS.
Stick your head under the transmition evenly between the axels. and rotate the wheels... Keep one ear faceing each wheel. Move your head left to right as you hear the noise louder in your left or right ear. When the noise is equal in your ears, youll be looking straight up at the problem. I used this tequnige to isolate my Shadow's issue to a Left Inboard CV joint.
Could be a tire though. I had my steering shake, it wasbecause I over - inflated my tires and they had buldge spots. That caused vibration/shakeing in the front that went away after 35mph. From that day forward, I always ignored sidewall pressure and went with what was written in the Doorjam
Watched the video again,
Isn't that Torque Steer? If a CV Shaft completly fails,
The Diff will lock, and the car will torque steer towards the faild shaft.
Your problem could be a partial failed shaft. Id guess on the driver side since thats the way it was turning. Instead of moving the CV shaft side to side, see how far you can turn the wheel before the transmition turns ect.
