still getting vibes through the steering wheel.. everything is tight that i can see. vibes under acceleration and shakes bad when hard braking. whats funny is it shakes and pulls but i get no feed back through the brake pedal from a warped rotor.. tires are balanced and rims are true.. so anywhere else i can look?

Look for a bad tire and check tire pressure. Also check your brake pads and rotors and make sure they are good. You should check the runout on the rotor and wheel hub on the front wheels and make sure they are within spec.

Your Rotor are probably warped, change them out and you will see the difference.

It is important to properly torque the lug nuts to prevent rotor runout
After servicing your brakes, torque all to 100 FtLbs
Retorque after the next 50-100 miles.

All of the above and find a garage that can do "road force balancing"
