Help

Ok a little help here, I have a 1989 Dodge Shadow, First off the car is out of alignment and I know this but when I got over a bump the drivers side of the car cracks really bad and when I go on the brakes the car vibrates and the drivers side cracks again.
We replaced the CV Joint and that wasn't the prob

check your bushings/bumpstops/any other non steel part for cracks, breaks, etc..

I was also told my brake caliper was shot or maybe my wheel bearings?? Are Chrysler's known for this?

any caliper or bearing can or will wear out, if you know it's bad replace it, especially the bearing. i'd look at bushings for the squeek and i'd suspect warped rotors for the vibration

Rotor's are in good shape, The car don't squeak, When you go on the brakes the driver's side cracks and vibrates real bad and when you turn the wheel to the left and when you go over a bump
