Since I've owned my LR3, I've always had a bad vibe front the passenger front. Mainly in the steering wheel. I always thought it was bad upper control arms or whatever. So I went about going through the entire suspension. The vibration is STILL present. Here is what I've done:

Replaced:
New LCA (previous owner, 15k ago)
New UCA
New Air Struts
New Tie Rod kits (inner and outers with boots)
New Sway bar link (I've got new sway bar chassis bushings, but I doubt that is the cause for the vibration)
New Wheel Bearing
New Brakes (6~7k ago...because it needed brakes)

I've look at the wheels. I've been told I have some bent rims, but that they are now on the back axle...and the front vibration is still there.

Any other places to look? I assume a bad axle shaft would've given me issues in the last 15k...at least.

Thanks!

Did you get your front tires balanced? I sometimes get that stopping slowly on un even road/asphalt at highway speeds. It could be worn lower control arm bushings.
