Still have a random front end vibration, normally at higher speed, 60+ but some times not till over 80, but then doesnt smooth out even under 60, but it comes and goes, not triggered by anything I can pinpoint. Wheels have been balanced and since its random probably not it.
Last spring was lower control arms and they are still tight.
Next thing is strut mounts and thinking the left front strut is dead?

Mine ended up being the steering gear.
With the engine off, have somebody sit at the steering wheel and turn the wheel left and right while you have your hand on the inner tie rod. If there's wear on the rack you will feel the tap when it picks up the slack from the back lash.
