I think i might start by checking the bushing which would probably be the cheapest fix if that is the problem. Idk what else it could be besides the bushings and rods.

Yeah...I've been narrowing down my vibration issues since last year. So far I've replaced all of the front steering/suspension components except the upper control arms, (which I actually have now and will go on the car when I get it back from paint).

1. All wheels properly balanced - Check
2. Steering rack end bushing - Check
3. Steering rack guide screw - Check
4. Inner & outer tie rods - Check
5. Front wheel bearings - Check
6. Lower ball joints - Check
7. Lower control arm bushings - Check
8. Halfshaft/Axles/CV Joints - Check
9. Upper control arm ball joints - To Be Installed Soon

Re: Offical eH squad list.

Does it still vibrate even though you replaced all those parts?

Just barely. My upper control arm ball joints are shot so hopefully the new ones will do the trick.

hatchy you can check this by push pull on the top and bottom of the wheel/tire. that will tell you if your ball joints are "loose".

if you do it side to side that will give you an indictation on your tie rod conditions.

Re: Offical eH squad list.

should. any steering/suspension component out of "spec" could or should. i guess the main reason i would think you wouldnt have it with tie rods is because the "thrust angle sucks up the tolerance that is now vacant". sorry for the "big" wording but my mind isnt working properly at the moment. im still stuck on candyland pool and bubble breaker on my phone. kthnxbye.
