[QUOTE="einehund, post: 16862975, member: 67302"] So I am now on my third set of front tires in 2 years. The inside edges keep cupping; I had inside edge wear, and I could deal with that, but the cupping shakes the steering wheel HARD and I'm not trying to get muscle failure every time it happens. The shaking only gets bad while braking and at higher speeds (when the front is loaded up more). It isn't the brakes as I have replaced the rotors and had the runout checked. I replaced the front struts with new Roush struts, and did the hats at the same time, using the Ford Performance hats. I am really thinking there has to be a worn bushing in the A-arms, but I've had the car up on stands and was playing and prying the front suspension to see if there was slop anywhere and I couldn't find it. I have come to the conclusion : F it and just get a tubular K-member, A-arms, sway bar bushings, end-links and anything already not replaced, and essentially just have a new front suspension, because replacing tires isn't cheap and the car isn't fun to drive with cupped tires. I am leaning towards BMR's tubular set up, as I have their rear LCA's and have had no issues in 10 years with them. Any other suggestions? Are there any recommendations for suspension shops near Saint Louis that could take care of this? I don't want to take it to Midas! I would do it myself but I just started a new job and work quite a bit more than I used to and don't have the time to do it. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
