I have brand new rotors in the front and breaks, and new outter tie rods with an alignment, however, when i am coming to a stop my steering wheel shakes lihgtly left to right, I know I need new upper control arms, does that have anything to do with it? thanx lincoln lovers!!!:cool:

I dont think that would make the steering wheel shake though

I would say it could..Making the car shake from the back would have to have some effect.Not definatly just saying its possible

How are you wheel bearings.

My front wheel started to shake when they went bad.

Jack up your car and grab your wheels with your hands and try to move them. If they have play up and down, your ball joints are toast, and if they have play left and right, your steering is the issue.

ok Ill try that I know they deff, dont go right to left cause I just changed the driver side inner tie rod and both outter tie rods, but I'll try to see if they go up and down. Is it easy enough to change your self, or how much does it cost to get done? thanx!!!!

Wheel Bearing is a true 5 min job. Cost about $80 - $100 for the Bearing unit. Plus $25 for the socket.

Only 4 bolts to remove after the wheel is taken off.
