My LR3 has 65k miles on it and recently took it in for some warranty work (covered by Ford ESP). While in the shop my service advisor called and told me that my front upper and lower control arms and bushings need to be changed plus some other items. ... All covered by warranty I had them all done.
Now - my steering wheel shimmys at 40-50+ mph. I took it back in and they state my Pirreli ATR's are cupped and that that is causing the vibration. Took it to a very reputable / independent tire shop and they verified this.
My question is ..... How can my solid driving truck go to the dealer and seemingly have no symptoms and all of the sudden with new control arms and bushings develop a shimmy? I looked at the tires when it was up on the rack and indeed the insides have worn faster than the outsides but this thing was driving perfectly ..... Any thoughts?
