High speed vibration 98 t/a It comes and goes. Not consistent. Went to take the car for a re-alignment and was told outter tie rod needs replacing on d/s. SO... also being told could be a rack n pinion bushings...
Anyone got any info.. i'm gonna replace my outter tie rods both side when I get paid next with some moog ones.
Thanks

could be imprinted or warp rotors.
ie: my car vibrates at 70+mph cruising with steering wheel shake. If I tap the brakes at that speed the car shakes even more.
Now if im going slower thane 70+, nothing.
with that being said rotors can cause vibration regardless if your braking or not.

check your tie rods yourself.
Jack up the front of the car, grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 position try to move it, also grab at the 3 and 9 position try to move it.
if you feel play and movement, then yes new tie rods are needed.

Thank you Kevin for the imput. FYI, I'm the guy who was inquiring about yellow powdered coated stuff from you a few months back. I think I might have found someone out here near base that can match my other stuff if you can still ship bare.

Coolio! Yeah, take a peak at it. There is a chance it could be bent if it's factory. When it bends, it can create some vibrations because of the alteration to the pinion angle.
Yeah man, we can send the parts bare and save you some coin.
