get hubcentric rings. Done.

woops, read it again. Tie rod play for sure...

I'd lean more toward control arm bushings if its just a high speed thing.

It couldn't hurt to refresh the whole front end. Inner and outer tie rods, sway bar end links, away bar bushings, and control arm bushings. I'd suggest lemforder brand for everything and for the control arm bushings, get stock e30 m3 rubber offset bushings.

Good luck

Also don't forget new control arms. The ball joints wear out and you can feel the play.

Of everything taylor listed, the most important things you're gonna be looking at are the control arm bushings and outer tie rods.

And you're 100% sure the wheels are balanced perfectly, right?

thanks for the fast reply and yes alot them all balanced right ....ill forsure just get the fornt end done then just like e30 fiend said wont hurt to do all at once ....the vibrations happened when i got my first pair of xxr501s then got some momo quasars and had spacers on he fornt and stop the vibrations and continued at a higher speed like 90 or 100 ...reason going that fast was to see if it vibrated ... thanks again for the quick reply guys
