Yeah, alignment is first on my list (followed by tires).

The steering coupler was replaced a couple years ago and is holding up fine.

I did replace the upper inner bushings with poly ones as well, and they were actually in better shape than the lower arm bushings. In fact there wasn't really much of the rubber of the lower bushings left when I pulled the lower arm off.

Initially I tightened the lower arm nuts and bolts with it unloaded, but then tightened it again after the first vibration incident because I thought it may have been loose and causing the problem. Is that a problem?

The Idler Bushing shows cracking in the rubber, but there is no play in the bushing from trying to shake it by hand.

Thanks.
