I have been experiencing slight steering wheel wobble and slight "bump steer". The wobble is present between 30 and 50 mph. The wheels are all straight and I replaced the tires with top of the line Michelins, but I still have the slight wobble. I have had the tires road force balanced, and still no success. My alignment is good.

I'm thinking it might be the front control arms and bushings, but I'm not sure.

Any guidance you can give would be greatly appreciated.

You are correct in diagnosing the lower control arm brackets as needing replacement, the part # is 31-12-6-757-623 for the set of brackets.

Thanks, Doc. I purchased the parts and am having the work done this week. Hopefully this will take care of the problem.
