control arms

Hello I just made a purchase from autohausAZ. I ordered frony upper control arms made by Karlyn made in the U.S. $80.00 each. ball joints $27 each by febi and end links $27 each by lemforder they will be here next week and i'll post the results. Hopefully this cures by wheel shake while braking. Very annoying when I just installed Zachhausen rotors and pads.

Wheel shaking while braking could also be thrust arm bushings but you might have heard or felt those 'clunking' already...

I think OP got that covered. He mentioned he ordered Febi ball joints.

Just had mine replaced last week. Found one of them leaking. Thought my front rotors were shot but they replaced the bushings...and she's nice and smooth again when braking hard.

This is most likely the remedy for my braking issues also. Under somewhat hard braking I get a wicked shake back through the steering wheel - sometimes.
