I have a 2005 Toyota Solara 3.3L convertible. I started feeling the whole from shake and vibrate aggressively when it runs on a not smooth road or runs through a bump. I have changed the Control Arms, Inner tie rods, the Struts with KYB Shocks, had wheel aligned, tires balanced and the shake still persist. The bushings have been checked and they are not broken or worn out. I am frustrated now. Can it be the Rack and Pinion? Or what do you think can be done?

I've sent a pic and check the things I've pointed out to like the front frame bushings or loose bolts that hold it in. If the front end guy was ok he wold have checked parts that were worn prior to doing alignment. It could also be a worn wheel bearing or something bent causeing the problem I kind of doubt it's the rack. Other than that can't think of much unless it's another motor mount.
