Well after a short drive on the highway the vibration is gone. Not completely though. And I cannot quite describe until I drive some more on the highway. I cannot wait to reach 100mph to observe what other vibrations are gone.
The old spindle bearing was really rusted. I wonder how often when I took it in to be replaced was it just regreased. But then again I wonder how one would regrease a sealed bearing. I will take a closer look at the spindle to see if there is any obvious damage. When comparing the old link with the new link the old link had more play within its movement. There is much less noise when going over bumps which might just be attributed to proper tightening of lossened parts.
