still getting vibration in the front wheels
***** UPDATE ******
after changing the bearing, and the axel still getting vibration, back to the shop...
***** UPDATE ******
the dealership found that the bearing (the one on the axel passenger side) connecting to the transmission is completely gone.. so the axle was moving freely. so that was my problem, hopefully this can help someone else
_____________________________
After i changed to the new LNF suspention new swaybar links, new alignment, new tires (balanced) new control arm bushing im still getting vibration at low and high speeds what am i missing??? my rotors are warped can it be because of that??
i wanna cry please help i have spend alot of money and im still not 100%

Maybe double check the wheel balance. I had a bad vibration after getting tires put on, took it back and the problem was resolved after they were balanced again. It might not be your problem, but worth a shot since most places offer lifetime balance and rotation.

Step 1 - tire balance. Sometimes tire balancers cant pick up RFV - google it if you dont know the term.
Or, If a front to back rotation doesnt change the location of vibration then tires are probably fine.

Sound like you have done about everything,
Just for the sake of trying something next time your in the car and the vbrations are happening put the car in nuetral and let off the gas if a auto or put the clutch in and let off the gas if standard and coast.
Let me know if they go away,stay the same or get worse.

Since it stayed the same,
Unplug the fuse for the power steering and try it.Eps fuse 60 amps underhood fuse box.
Its going to be hard to steer so be careful.
Youve eliminatd any inputs from the motor and tranny,taking the fuse out and testing it will eliminate the
Steering motor and the pscm module
One more question,
Is the vibration felt in the steering wheel more so than the seat of your pants or roughly the same?
