Andy M said---"The Idler Bushing shows cracking in the rubber, but there is no play in the bushing from trying to shake it by hand."
Play on the idler arm will show when you rock the r/s front tire side to side. A bad bushing will cause the idler arm to move up and down. I think a bad idler arm bushing combined with obviously out of balance tires (given the wear--how could they possibly be in balance?) can result in the out of control shaking you are experiencing. Some front end designs are prone to that kind of shaking---ask any original VW Beetle or Bus driver with a bad steering damper. A 120 Volvo isn't that sensitive so I'd look for a combination of ills. -- Dave
