[DML] Re: tire wear / front end vibration

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jason - One area that you didn't mention getting new parts or at least 
a thorough inspection of is the front sway bar bushings common to the 
frame and also common to the lower control arms.  These bushings have a 
large effect on the caster, braking stability, and basic toe-in 
alignment.  The bushings on the rear side of the lower control arms 
take the most abuse, and will deteriorate the fastest.  Have any of the 
alignment shops mentioned a caster error in your car?  Have all the 
other bushings been inspected to make sure that all is well?  If you 
need to, shoot me a message off-List and I can cover some of these 
items in detail with you.
