My wallet is bleeding You're right. I'm about to change all of those before this winter comes. Thanks!

Rear: Control arm, eccentric arm, and balljoint.

x2 of what 4.8isX5 said. At 70k last year I replaced the front end.

Starting on rear end this year, not just mileage but age of the rubber bits gives shortens the lifespan.

Slotted rotors could be the slight shake, but probably not. If you just did the thrust arm bushings on the front end and that's it, I'd at least look into doing the ball joint on the arm and the wishbone control arm as well.

If you want to re-bed the brakes to be sure you transferred material onto the rotor evenly follow this procedure to a T:

Thanks, RB. Any advice on replacing the ball joint? A detailed picture tour would be perfect. I'm thinking about replacing the ball joint, struts, and driver side Lower Control Arm before heading to dealer for alignment.

my money is on poorly bedded brakes, out of true rotors, or if your thrust arms are original, then they are shot.
