I replaced the tie rod ends and still have a slight vibration. The wheels are balanced and the wheel bearing are tight. Could blown struts cause this problem? If not what else could cause this?

How's the wear pattern on your tires? Are your wheels out of round?

The tires are wearing even. Acept the right front but I swaped in the right rear. So the only uneven tire is the RR. The aliment is a little off. I dunno about the wheels.

an incorrect alignment can cause some vibration. which tie rods did you replace? is there possibly still some play in the steering linkages? do you know if the wheels are "perfectly" balanced?

I think the brand was twc are something like that (advance auto parts).I was going to get tein but I was short on money for the inner tie rods and they just needed to be replaced bad. I dunno about the wheel, I gusse when I get some new tires I will have the check the wheels. What else do I need to look at in the steering liknage?

check ur tension arms, lower control arms. You can get ur sai checked at an alignment shop to see if u might have bent something more than ur tie rods. What did you hit? or just a replacement of wear and tear?

I bought like that. I got to good of a deal 2800 with 135,000 on it to pass on it. I think it may be the tires and maybe a bent rim. I'm going to take it to a shop in a few days to get aliend.
