front wheel bearings? Have they been replaced?
On my DD, for the longest time I had wheel shake that came and went at highway speeds. It was never consistent, did alignments/ wheel balance, etc. nothing fixed it. Did the wheel bearings and all the shaking went away. |

your problem is most likely in the rear, check ALL the solid pillow balls (rod ends) in any after market control arms you have, do this how you would check for play in a ball joint, jack up, shake wheel side to side and up and down like a mother fucker, not like a pussy, and have a friend look at each individual pillow ball on the control arms. i found my isis upper control arm had a little play in the rod end, and that was it, same problem for me. car would wanna kinda steer itself around a big turn going about over 80 ish. or it could just be your ball joints

Yeah Rear arms are all stock. I need to save for new arms. I'm love SPL arms but also thinking pbm and battle version. How are those?
Also It's not really a shake I feel it's more of a car twitches left and right and it's very unpredictable. Feels like its coming from the front. Really thinking it might be the front sway putting load on the flca. Will update when I can, times are hard can't put all my money in the car like I use to.

I'm running Fortune Auto coils too and my car has a vibration in the steering wheel during 40 to 50 MPH(Not blaming coils though).
Could be your tires though, just a thought, have them balanced? I had the studs from the hubs sticking out too far through the spacers, once i shaved them the vibration went away dramatically. BUT it's still slightly there i'm just guessing i let it on too far and it caused permanent damage to something or made my tires super bouncy. |

Did you put in enough bumpsteer correctors when changing front tie rod ends?
They have different sizes, and you should put enough in to where the tie rod end is parellel to the LCA, if not, you are experiencing bumpsteer. |
