I know this happens often, but this time it happened to me. My steering wheel has been vibrating when I get anywhere from 60-80 most of the time. So I figure I'll get the balance checked out. I do, and the guy says, "have you seen this?" I look and the driver's side rear control arm is bowed out a little. They said that could be my problem and I'm beginning to think so. They still balanced the wheels and I went on the freeway and it is still doing it. So would this cause the vibrations? What can be done to prevent this from happening again, anything? Is it as easy to replace as it looks? I'll try Bill Jenkins but I hope this is not too expensive, any estimates? The funny part, I don't know why I say funny, is that the guy started just swinging away at it with a mallet trying to bend it back in place. I hope he didn't mess anything else up doing that, I was just sitting there in shock trying to figure out if he was really doing that.
