Hi,
Would like to know if you actually changed the parts or had someone else do the work.
If you did it , you will be more likely to answer my questions than if someone else did the work.

Brake rotors can sometimes be the cause of vibrations.

Did you notice any differences with the engine cradle when the wheels were turned to the right as compared to the left?

Keep in mind that the engine and trans can move into a difficult angle that the half shaft may not be able to accommodate. Engine and cradle mounts need to be in good shape to keep that movement to a minimum. Let us know what you find.
