    Vibration During High Speed Lane Changes

    On the freeway I get bad vibrations in one of the front tires

    Cool story bro! :jk:

    I have bad shaking in the steering wheel on the freeway. At first I was planning on getting the wheels balanced but some days the shaking is not noticable and other days it is very prevalent.

    In my situation it is 190k mile old lower control arm bushings and balljoints which cause the shaking on the freeway. When I jack up the driver front wheel I get 2" of slop when I grab and wiggle the tire at 9 and 3. I do not get the same slop when I do the same to the passenger side (so it is not the steering rack or tie rod ends)

    I would check into the condition of your control arm bushings+balljoints THEN look into getting the wheels balanced.

      Check for a bent rim too. It could also be a tire out of round. I had one out of round that was fine until I got up to 70, then it'd start shaking.

        Thanks, The control arms are new along with CAB bushings. What has happened now though is when i stop I feel a stuttering or clicking sensation from the pass front suspension. Upon further inspection I can push hub up and slightly compress the suspension. I think it could be the front suspension mounts. I am currently on H&R cabby sports (stiffer rear) and billy sports
