Well I'm buying a newer car soon so I will be selling the SC. One thing I wanted to take care of before I sell it is the steering wheel vibration it's had for a while. Basically I can feel a random vibration in the steering wheel that comes and goes at any speed. I can feel it going 10mph or 40 mph. It gets slightly better at highway speed for some reason, but there is still a slight vibration. I know it's not wheel/tire balancing because it's had this issue with different wheel and tire combinations.

I was about to do the lca bushings today but I'm not so sure it will fix the issue. I did notice a bit of give to the sway bar, and it would clink if it lifted it up and down when I had the car on jack stands.

Could could loose sway bar endlinks cause a steering vibration?

Any other ideas are welcome I just want to get rid of this random steering vibration before I sell it.

thanks

LCA bushings is a good place to start, I would also look at tie rod ends, and swaybar end links. I think wheel bearings could be a possibility too but I'm not sure, good luck!

Do you have aftermarket wheels? Do you have hub centric rings on them?

Yeah they are aftermarket wheels, I don't think it has hub centric rings.

It can defintley cause vibrations (not having them). I'd HIGHLY recommend getting a set.

Other causes:

1) Out Of Balance Tire/Wheel
2) Alignment Wrong
3) Center Support Bearing Worn (Driveshaft) or Joints
4) Drive Shaft Isolator
