Front suspension HELP

Ive been fighting a vibration and sloppy feeling in the front for a long time. I have 177k miles, but replaced all front control arms, oem springs, tokico struts, steering rack & pump, tires, end-links, bushings, etc. Still have a floating feeling and vibration up front. Could the lack of a better front sway bar up front cause this? Any other ideas would be very appreciated.

Get an alignment and also make sure your wheels are balance properly.

Yeh, wheels have been road-force balanced, and alignment is perfect. It was checked at multiple places, including acura.

Did the whole front end feel kind of loose when the axels were going bad?

^Good thought, I didn't think of that before. Bad tie rods would definitely explain the "floaty" feeling since your alignment is in spec.

Tie rod ends worn would cause ur alignment to be out most likely.. Also said he had the alignment done and those should have been checked.. It's a waste on money to align a car with loose parts
