Like I said above the boots on the ball joints and tie rod ends are cracked but there is no play in them, but the body does have over 200,000 miles on it and they look original
.
There are no flat spots in any of the tires,
.
this has been happening since I changed the engine out




as far as i know, they can be done on a Hunter 9700 balance machine.

i have mounted and balanced/performed RFV on brand new tires that have failed ...

We have one at the dealership I work at as well. It's very nice. I recommend having a shop that has one of those do the balance.

Was the car rolled around while the axles were out? That messes up the wheel bearings. I would suspect something related to the swap. Axles, bearings, engine mounts. Are all mount bolts tight? Is the center bearing on the passenger axle in correctly?

Yeah, the car was in and out of the garage for a week with no engine & trans in it, engine mounts are now polyurethane filled and tight, and as far as I know passenger axle is still in right haven't checked it in a while

its might be the polyurethane mounts they are stiffer so your feeling more of the road conditions then with the oem mounts they can cause ur car to vibrate

The vibration with poly mounts is a general, all over vibration and does not just affect the steering wheel. Also, it gets less as RPM's increase.
