You may have more worn components up front but first a few q's. The thrust arms are the ones on the top? Exactly what type of bushings did you use for those thrust arms? There are 3 different types. The very next thing to do is find a Hunter 9700 balance machine. Too many people have posted immediate success after a spin on that machine. Are all your wheels the same F & R. What happens when you rotate? You may have worn lower control arm balljoints or bushings, tie rod bushing, idler arm bushing, loose crossmember assy, the thing those thrust arms/bushings bolted to. Why did you replace the thrust arm/bushings. Are the old ones indeed bad?
What type of driving situation instigates this vibe. Email me directly if you want.

My arms & bushings'88 735 still has vibration in the front after replacing the thrust arms & bushings and re-balancing the front wheels. This problem appeared after switching to 17x8.5 wheels and 235-45/17 Bridgestones. What's the next step?
