Where can I order the LCA #2 and how much should I expect to pay for it?

So I fixed the problem... I was driving back to Houston, vibrations and all, when I hear a loud hiss. My front passenger tire blew out. I took it off and saw that there was a slit about 2 inches long near the top of the sidewall where the tread is. I put on my oem 17" spare and vibration was noticeably reduced. I texted my friend and he said that it was probably a bubble that caused it to vibrate and that I also needed a balance. Took the wheel to a shop when I got back and they mounted/balanced the tire and wheel and vibrations gone! Glad I dont have to deal with the headache of messing with the suspension to figure out what the problem was... at least not now :P

i had the problem when i first bought my GS , went ahead and replaced lower inner/outter tie rod ends and bushing. Daizen steering rack bushing is a must. i also went with Megan LP Flawless and did my alignment and also road force balance rims/tires. Last thing i did was turn the nut for steering rack. Took it 0 -100 flawless no shakes at all.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I just got some new tires (michelin on stock rims) and the shake went away 100% I think it was just a balance issue for me.
