Exclamation Vibration????

Hey guys, let me start off by saying I have spent countless hours looking through these forums for an answer. I have a vibration and hard pull coming from the passenger side. I have replaced inner/outer tie rods, axels, sway bar bushings. I have both upper and lower ball joints left to do as well but it is getting to the point that my car feels unsafe to drive. I'm going to jack it up now to see if I can determine the issue. I noticed rondog said he had a bent controll arm in several threads. Any ideas? It's not wheels or tires either, I have four sets and it does it with all. Thanks in advance for any advice! Oh yeah, got my headers on also, hence why I am trying to fix this so I can open her up and see a return on my investment!

Ok, upper bj is shot. Sorry guys. But I swear there is something else going on. I'll keep you updated. Replacing uppers and lowers along with radius rod bushings too.

No, it's the CLS6. I'm actually still debating wether to sell the legend or not. I won't know exactly until I get me RJ kit and CT blower on. Wife thinks they are both money pits!

Make sure to get the two different RR sizes for each side correct front and rear when reinstalling. That's alot of work to go through to find later about this possible unintentional error. Refer to post#89 on the thread below, lower right of page:

I had the exact same problem. I replaced my two front tires and the problem went away.

*edit- Sorry as I didn't read your entire post before writing my reply. I hope you are able to find your issue!

I recently had similar problems with my drivers side. I found the wheel bearing was destroyed. You can do a few tests to see if the wheel bearing is bad. The one that worked for me was jacking the wheel up and grabbing the top and bottom of wheel and rocking it to see if it was loose. There should be no movement from it, but if your upper BJ is bad it will probably move there. Mine clearly showed movement of the hub/rotor/wheel. Also there was whining/moaning coming from that side and eventually it turned to grinding as the bearing got worse.

Good luck
