    I am dealing with the exact same right now. On control arms - what are the best practices to determine they are bad, are there any visual cues. Of course I have tried to move/shake them

    my vibration issues were solved by changing two tires and a meticulous alignment. Thankfully I didn't have to go further than that, but man, that 70mph vibration was absolutely maddening.

    Hankooks do flatspot, but a lot of high-performance tires will do that in the cold. Once the tire warms up all is well.

    How about tie rod ends? Are they known to go bad and cause a vibration? Mine look ok.

    Trying to chase this vibration down really hampers the enjoyment of the beast.

    What about dynamic wheel balancing. A buddy of mine used to have a wheel balancer that you would roll up to the car when it was on the lift. It would spin the wheel fast and there was a strobe light that would flash at the spot that was heavy. Kind of like a timing light. I think that if you could spin each wheel maybe you could at least narrow down a corner to focus in on.
