    Check your rack, it might just be the issue. After replacing hubs control arms and steering knuckle I found out this was the culprit. New rack from rack doctors, problem solved.

      Solved my problem, I need hubcentric rings. My wheels' bore is 73.1mm in diameter while my hubcentric spacer is same as the stock hub: 57.1mm. After spinning the front wheels, I noticed they were rotating eccentrically, or wobbling up and down. After remounting them a few times, they are as close to perfect as I can get them with the tapered lug studs. The vibration is almost all gone now so the rings should help.

        If only it were that easy...I've had hubcentric rings from the start.

          Well now I need an alignment. My steering wheel sits slightly left, and the car tracks slightly right.
