i have a 01 TL when i bough it, it was slammed to the ground the only way it was staying up was on the strut stops. i replaced all struts and springs. i noticed the 2 front tires had bad ware in the insides. i switched to back for now.

my issue is it starts vibrating at about 40 mph only when i have my foot on the gas if i release it, it will ride smooth. ?

i took off the front tires and both upper balljoints need to be replaced also i found some play in the upper control arm on the passanger side the bushings seem to be shot!

will fixing the joints and the control arm stop this awful vibration in my front end?

what else can i look at besides elignment which cant be done till i do the joints!
how can i check the lower joints? how can i trouble shoot this? and is there anythingelse i should check? axels or anything.!!!!

I would definitely replace the upper control arms with the ball joints. You can purchase the upper arms with the ball joints already pressed in and that will make install a snap. I just did the upper arms on my car last night and it completely eliminated the vibration I had. My bushings were completely shot on my car as well so it could of been a combination of worn out upper arm and upper ball joint. It cost me less than $100 for both new arms with upper ball joints so it was definitely worth it.

there could be the stuff they(^) said also for me when I was slammed, my passenger side axle was out and I had to replace it... But for me it vibrated whenever i accelerated

If your still having the vib? Hopefully it hasnt happened yet, but your about to lose your lower ball joint. If your driving it when it goes... WHAM! d!*& in the dirt.

where do you guys get the control arms with ball joints already pressed in at? Im assuming the arms also come with new bushings as well?
