I recently replaced both lca's and cv joints, the car is shaking between 60 and 80 miles and vibration is coming from the driver side. I think it might be due to the improper installation of the lca, I snapped a photo of the driver lca ball joint and it doesn't look right to me.

any thoughts?




thanks

 

by the way, I had the car aligned after replacing everything.


end links are due for replacement, will be changing them soon.

Also, the wheel where the vibration is coming from appears to be slightly inwards from the bottom.

 

You sure the tires are balanced correctly?

 

this or a bad tire. I had the same problem around 70mph with a bad tire.

 

I will have the tires checked, but does the ball joint look ok? is that what its supposed to look like?

 

Ball joint looks normal to me. With the car lifted, the strut extends all the way down, thus giving you a weird looking angle on the ball joint. Once the car is on the ground, the angle on the ball joint will look more straight.

Is this your car? Meaning have you driven it at those speeds before performing the work?
I wouldn't think a wheel would start a vibration overnight, unless the balancing weight fell off or shifted.
