    I assume you've done a wheel alignment since having the suspension parts installed? Also seeing as you have new wheels and tires its probably not a wheel balancing issue.

    Could be something to do with the steering rack, maybe movement in the rack ends

    Without testing and inspecting the car people here can only guess what the specific problem is.

    You need to get the car inspected and tested by a competent steering and suspension specialist so the problem is properly identified. There can be any number of issues that is causing the problem.

    Sounds like you have eliminated wheel balance. Jack up the car and spin the wheels and see if they are spinning true there may be something wrong with one or both of the hubs maybe?

    I had very similar problem, had 6 wheel balances, 2 alignments, replaced the entire suspension, lower and upper control arms. still there
    took the tyre's back and got another set of the same brand and type. still there.

    pulled those wheels off and put on a mates 18's. gone.

    took the tyres back to the shop I got them from - for the 7th time )as they were doing the balances and told them I wanted a different brand.
    they changed me from Triangles, to MAXXIS. problem solved.

    they tyres were simply out of round from the factory mould.
    Check out my build <---Click me

    Now sporting ASR audio interior lighting and stereo mods, and MACE induction mods.
    Need your computer tuned, or dash calibrated??? Want your PS3 fixed, or wish to prevent the YLOD?
