    bad steering shake

    I put this in the ix section too but figure i should put it here as well. A few weeks ago i did the front cv's (thanks again replicam3cab) on my new heap and put in a new exhaust to get it on the road again. The drivers side cv was completely broken, just rattling around in the hub and the exhaust had been cut behind the cat. So I finally registered it and drove it around and the steering shakes really really badly above 55. Its undrivable. Im thinking its the tie rod ends as they were pretty worn and ripped but it seems too bad for that. The whole front end needs to rebuilt but any suggestions on what this is would be greatly appreciated. Also after flushing the disgusting green coolant and changing the t-stat (stock temp) it wont heat up past the quarter mark. This thing is really starting to become a headache so please help so i dont have to drive the exploder anymore. Thanks!

      no just the cv's, i want to do the control arms, since the ball joints are ripped anyway and im sure the bvushings are original. I know the whole front end needs to be rebuilt but i am trying not to spend a grand in one shot. Anyone know where I can get cheap ix control arms?
