Control Arm Or Tie Rod

[dvmotorsports]

So when I cruise at any speed over 70mph and I turn between 5 and 10 degrees to the right, there is a violent vibration in the front end. I have already tried balancing the tires (first time in 15,00 miles and they zeroed out LOL), no dice. The bushings are in fair condition.

I assume it is either the control arms or tie rods. They are visually fine and when I do the "shake the shit out of it" test, they don't move at all. I am on the verge of replacing both.

But has anyone experienced this problem? I'd rather just replace the control arms, OR tie rods. Not both.

Check the back end first it could be a rear trailing arm bush or something

my car was doing the same thing when i would turn to the left. The bushings on my car looked fine but i replaced them anyways. Problem solved.

I am pretty sure it isn't the rear because of the insane vibration in the steering wheel.
