Well if you replaced something you thought was bad and it's still bad i would guess that that's not the problem. How's your alignment? Has it slowly been getting worse or did it just kinda happen over night?

Stuck caliper?
Bad Motor Mounts?
Wheels not balanced?

Try inspecting your tires it can be something as easy as a shifted belt.Also make sure the front end is nice and tight.

Was it a remanufactured axle? Ive run into problems with remans at work to where right out of the box the cv joints were bad, and would shake like none other on acceleration. Not through the steering wheel though, it feels like the wheels are going left and right and shaking the car but not the steering wheel.

Could be your wheel/tires are unbalanced, some of your wheel weights fell off, or you could need an alignment. I posted a thread a couple days ago on the same exact problem and they told me the same thing, im currently experiencing the same thing with my EP, I have yet to fix it but I am missing some wheel weights and my alignment is off so hopefully that's the problem.
