Does your steering wheel start to shake when you apply the brakes?

If so, it's your lower control arm bushings. I need to replace mine as well.

Check out this site if you want to do them yourself: http://www.ohiomotorcycle.com/understeer/lcab.shtml

Good luck

umm.... there are a lot of different "frount" end bushings....

sway bar, strut mount (top), lower (A arm)

all you have to do is explain which ones before you tell people they are retarded for trying to help. dang!

I just replaced pass. side control arm-bushing was bad. All was well, now I get steering wheel vibration again under braking. Only difference was a vibration while driving at 40-43mph before. I don't get this now though, but definite vibration in steering wheel while braking at speeds over 45 mph. (drivers side on it's way out??)
So what can go wrong, can I wait awhile?
