ok, getting ready to take this to either the dealer or local shop as another issue popped up today! as i am driving on the freeway, get up to about 70 or so and feel a shake coming more thru the gas pedal than the steering wheel. hoping its just a tire out of balance but normally you would feel that thru the steering wheel. any ideas as what it could be before i go take it somewhere? thanks all

I did suggest intermediate steering shaft , but it could be the LCA rear bushings, I know you just changed them , but the new style problem solvers are so much more firm as the are like a bearing or heim joint

FYI I had a shake on the freeway accelerating, check the balance one was out a little but shake still there, LF half shaft.

so drloch, the half shaft was bad? could i have somehow messed one up doing all the LCA and end link changes?
Oldblue, not sure what you mean about the LCA bushings, they actually did not look like the one i the pic, they were smooth rubber, no rolled rubber like the one in the pic, if that matters!
