Unhappy A6 2.7T Front Replaced - Need Help Desparate

I am in desperate need of some talk time. I just had my front end done by what I thought to be a reputable shop. Turns out, NO. They delivered the car without taking on the highway and at 50 MPH or higher, I have a severe shake. I also had new wheels put on, and the balancing work was horrible. After an additional two returns to the shop, they basically screwed me. They destroyed my rear hubs and who knows what else. I have taken the care to a larger company with several locations, but we are getting too focused on the wheels and balancing but I am convinced the front end parts were not put on correctly and we will chase many dead ends without focusing on the reassembly. I will be happy to pay for some advice. Thanks in advance. I can be reached directly at 980-225-1270, Please leave a VM. My wonderful car is now a piece of YKW.... Thanks in advance.

My best advice would be to take it to either a local euro car specialist or your local VW/Audi dealer and go from there.

There is no way for anyone to diagnose a shake without the car present. A place like Discount tire/Tires Plus/Midas do fine work, but if you are concerned with the quality of care, it might be best to just pay your local dealer for a once through. It would be a waste if someone knowledgeable in suspension tried helping with your possible tire issue. Just as it would be a waste if someone who deals with tires day in and day out tried to diagnose a possible suspension issue.

This should not be too big a problem. It could be a part problem, maybe they got to wrong part? Sometimes the part is the same but a bushing or connector is slightly different.
Or just could be the alignment.
