Car shaking help!very annoying :P

The car shakes when I drive. Usually it has a shake all the time and the steering wheel shakes in my hands. I have a basically whole new front end....center link, idler arm, struts, inner and outer tie rods....rear shocks and stabalizers also brand new. Front has been aligned and wheels balanced twice. I know my trans mount is bad and Im replacing it tommorow, don't think it would cause this though.....

couple more things...Ive noticed the shake seems to be coming from the rear. It only started after the shop redid all my brake pads and shoes Im pretty sure...car also pulls to the right slightly and steering wheen stays slightly off center toward the right....any ideas?

Probably a bad tire, or maybe more than one. Most of the time tires are the cause of all of the problems you describe.

As far as the pull, swap the 2 front tires, see if it pulls to the other side; if it does, you have your answer.

Other common possible causes include a bent wheel or bent axle.
