Front Control Arm Bushing? C70

posted by  someone claiming to be John H. on  Wed Jan 14 03:50 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Anyone replaced the front control arm bushing on their C70 yet? I have 116,000 miles on mine, and I think the bushing are shot, but it could be something else.

Here what I'm experiencing...
1.) At speeds of about 40+ I have a small yet noticable shimmy and vibration in the steering wheel. Its enough to bother me since my hand starts shaking as I accelerate.

I had the tires replaced and balanced 2 days ago. The front rotors and pads I put on last night. I torqued the wheels after with a torque wrench. So at this point I think its a suspension issue. I'm planning on getting a front end alignment as soon as I figure out this issue since I would rather not spend the money twice for the same service.

Is is possible that the A-Arms or tie rod ends are bad?

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks in advance.
