steering wheel shakes when cold

[carguy 67]

This is obviously a ongoing problem with LR4's. I am thinking its a tire (continental)problem? we have a MB ML350 with the exact tires and it rides beautifully, so not to sure if I buy the continental story. And these SUV's are not really going off road, so i do not buy this whole "its a Land rover,its a real off road vehicle" BS. I only have 12k mies in 1.5yrs so it will be awhile before i need to replace my flat head tires! Like I said in my earlier post, LR knows,acknowledges, and pretty much says too bad. The said flat spots, but the car does not sit still so maybe a defect in the tires. Its been re balanced 2x new front brakes rotors (allegedly) and a new front tire. Its not so bad that I cant stand it, its much much bettter than when i first got it, but to be honest I have a 1967 cammaro that rides better, and it has red line bias belted tires. My next hurdle is squealing brakes, only at low speed, while coming to a stop....screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech

possible fix for vibration!!!!

As stated previously, the dealer recently replaced my control arms, because they noted the bushings were sticking out a bit----i hope i have the terminology correct. I guess these bushings are filled with fluid---which might account for the reason why the vibration is better once the car drives for a while.

I don't mean to get anyones hopes up, but since the repair, and the little driving i have done since, vibration is nearly gone. Like i said though, i have not driven much since though.

But, i wanted to get this post out to see what others thought and see if it helps anyone or see if it even makes sense!
