Suspension question.
So I have replaced my control arm bushings and tie rods and I aligned my car. So I am still having steering shake when I reach the 60-65 mph rage. Also when I am in that speed I hear like a wobble in my front wheels just not sure what it is. So my question is, I was told that the suspension for these cars act like a single unit and if something wears out and replaced that it won't do anything because all the other parts are close to wearing out. In other words would I need to completely redo my suspension in order for that problem to go away?

Slow in, slower out

Upper strut mounts wear out. You probably also have multiple bent wheels. The rack itself might be sloppy, especially the rack bushings, and the steering coupler can get floppy as well.

Most likely its a wheel. If you have a square set up try swapping your rear wheels to the front and go for a drive.

So strut mounts and the rack and bushings and the coupler might need replacing then. Well are you referring to the steering rack? I am not sure what the steering coupler is. So what can I do about checking for bent wheels?
