[s-cars] Problem vibration in the front end?

My UrS4 would shudder like that sort of when the bushing for my inner
control arm was shot.  Most noticeable on long sweeper corners... once
to the point where I swore I was about to lose a wheel!

But uh, in light of Wylie's comments, you are welcome to send the car
out here to Minneapolis.  I'll gladly test it for you.   ;-)
