Unhappy its not the dang rotor what is it??

My front right rotor will not spin straight. I have tried replacing the rotor with 3 others. It makes the brake caliper move in and out visably and wears down the pads and of course shakes the dickens out of me when I am braking. I have replaced ::

Wheel bearing

Complete vertical control arm including bearing hub and the 2 ball joints that are attached to it.

Brake caliper.

it is still vibrating In all my years of wrenching this is boggleing my mind.

Help me please.

Have you checked to see if perhaps you axel is warped, bent, or otherwise distorted around the transmission contact, cause if you say you have replaced all that other stuff, your guess is as good as mine. cause obviously if the caliper mounting bracket is not what's allowing the flex, which from the way you describe it, sounds highly unlikely, then I am at a loss....

You know what The Axle is the only variable that I can think of that could effect an autonomous unit like the Steering Knuckle.

The only thing is......If the axle is bent it still has to lock in through the bearing via the spines on the axle and the bearing. I would think that this would force the the end of the driveline to spin evenly and distribute the whiplash throughout the entire steering knuckle.
This isn't the case though. The hub assembly including the rotor seem to wobble. I can't imagine the bearing accepting that much movement without blowing out.

In all accuality I am nearing the completion of an entirely new front left suspension. The only things left are

Tie rod end

Lower control arm

Driveline.

Shock fork

Now it is a multiple choice what could it be??

Anyones guess is better than Mine I have been blaming myself on this all along.

Oh my favorite guess was the one from the acura dealership mechanic...

He said its the brake pads dude.....I said are you the janitor or are you really a mechanic? I just paid you 85 bucks to tell me to put new brakes pads on...... I give him a little credit though he probably mistook my car for someone elses full breathing integra on 17 konigs.
