Exclamation bad front end shaking

i have an 01 SS.and whenever i go to pull out of a parking lot and turn right my front end shakes real bad.the only way i can describe it is comparing it to when traction control is engaged in a front wheel drive vehicle. any help?

I agree with control arm bushings. And as you have to take it all apart to replace them, now would be a good time for a front end overhaul.

if you have someone watch you drive it in a parking lot you should be able to see it shuttering. Not realy a bad job but i would check out all the bushings underneath the car. If the cntrl arms are doing it the other ones are prboably dry rotted and cracked/torn might want to think abotu replacing them.,
