Steering shaking at high speed

Finally, after the lower arm bushing we're removed, the shaking was gone by 95%.

Last week, I reinstalled OEM front+rear brakes, all new, pads+rotors. The problem of shaking is completely gone !

I suspect the slotted rotors we're creating the vibration, since they we're slightly wrapped, but the WhiteLine bushing we're probably amplifying the vibration.

I'm not sure if I'll reinstall the WhiteLine bushing, but I'm really disapointed of the slotted rotors I bought for tracking purpose. I paid like 350$ for each, and they vibrate since day 1. Vibration never increase, but it's still not normal.
There's no way I'm removing my BBK, but which bushings are you talking about specifically? The anti lift kit?

Do you have spacers or hub rings in the wheels? Did the shop mount them with a torque wrench?


Just went back and had them road mount them for free as I was pretty annoyed they were still shaking. Guy tried to tell me originally that it was most likely due to the wheels being out of round even though they were brand new with brand new tires.

Installer checked them all over..rotated 2 tires and reseated all 4....smooth as a college girls ass now through all speeds.. He even said this issue wasn't a bad wheel but it was how they were mounted.

Tire place tried to blame my wheels and not their crappy mounting, stuck to my plan, got them fixed for free. All good in the hood now...much happy

FYI, same as the other poster, my vibration was due to the anti lift kit. I had both Whiteline and Superpro. Only stock fixed the issue.
