As for my shaking....I went for a test drive this
morning and paid a little closer attention to the
symptoms. The front end actually started shaking. I
was able to hit the brakes and stop it before it got
too bad. I came home and inspected and realized that
my front steering stabilizer was completely missing.
I bet adding one of them will stop the front end from
shaking uncontrollably.
