I noticed a vibration during brake application and at highway speeds. I had the tires rotated, then balanced then front rotors turned, then front rotors replaced, then front wheels re-balanced. I was then told of a "new" service bulliten covering the front end lower swing arm replacement. After working on my vehicle an entire day (following waiting a month to get the part and schedule mx) I was told that the car already has the "new" bushing and they did not know what was wrong with it. Now I hear a "clang" in the front end when decelerating or accelerating and can feel it through the steering wheel. And of course, the front end still vibrates at high way speeds.
