While driving I randomly get a vibration in the front right of the car kind of feels like driving over the drunk bumps on the side of the highway. When it does happen it is usually around 35mph. The car wants to pull slightly to the right but not all the time and I checked the brakes and there seems to be no abnormal wear. The one thing I noticed is the control arm bushing is torn but I am not sure if that can cause this issue.

Hi,

Is it possible for you to upload a picture of the bushings you said appear torn? Also, can you drive through the vibration. For example, if you drive 50 mph, does it go away? Have you checked steering components such as tie rods, ball joints, and so on? Is there anything that can stop the vibration or cause it to start other than speed?

Let me know.
