bad shake

i have a bad shake in the front of my car and i dont know what it is
it shakes my sterring wheel back and forth hard and loud but i know its not tire or rim related because it will do it with any rim i put on
i have coilovers, camber kit, and kby shocks if that helps im only dropped about 1" and nothing feels loose
and it doesnt do it when i go around a turn fast any other time it will at any speed

Re: bad shake

Check all the suspension bushings, ball joints, & tie rods. You can do this by lifting/supporting the front of vehicle & try to shake the tires in every direction. You can also use a long pry bar to pry against each part. There are a bunch of bushings, just a guess it's a lower strut mount bushing.
