not sure where i should post this, but anyway i am starting to feel alot of feedback through the steering wheel. all the bumps or imperfections are getting directed to the steering wheel. any suggestions. it feels like something is loose or wore out. thanks

it is not a constant shake, well it really does not shake i just did not know how to word it. i can feel the road more through the wheel now. it kinda feels like the rack and pinion. just can't pin point. i have just installed new springs and struts, (h&r/bilsteins) and had it aligned. that was about a month ago. but it has gotten worse.

interesting....i just had h&r/konis installed also and have similar experiences. I thought it may have been the 18's i bought before the suspension. I wanted to get my wheels balanced again before placing any blame on the new components, but its pretty obvious theres only one common denominator here.

Try looking at your suspension components rear and front. I have a rear control arm that is bent and needs to be replaced. I'm hoping that is my problem. I get a strong vibration through my steering wheel randomly between 60-80 mph. I have had my wheels balanced 3 times since I've had them as a reassurance and they look at me crazy everytime I bring it in. Good thing it's free.

i talked to a friend of mine that works at ford well used to(he has his own shop now) but anyway he said he beleives it is the angle of the tie rods now that i have it lowered a bit. it is no real biggie, i had it aligned again for free and it is a little better. everything else is good. all bushings etc.
