RE: Front end Vibe returns!

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

Me, too. I think it is probably old bushings allowing an out-of-balance
(by not much, had them mounted not long ago, Dunlops by NTW, both of
which say to get it checked) tire to vibrate or jump around under
braking. I am betting that I will have to do all the bushings, including
a-arm, strut bearings, sway bar, subframe, tie rod ends, ball joints
(all when I do the suspension) tranny, diff and motor mounts (hope not,
but the rubber is old..), based on the age of my car (1990).
