Default Play in my lower control arm...

I just replaced my castor bushing and thought I fixed my shake. It only shakes at higher speeds now. It almost looks like the lower control arm has some play at the point closest to the engine bay on my passenger side. There is fresh metal on the outer collar where the LCA bolts up almost like the bushing has failed. Has anyone had similar issues. Every thread I have looked at talking about the LCA turns into fixing the castor bushing. Other than TM who sells just the bushing for the LCA or am I stuck buying whole new ones???

I guess I am going to replace my inner tie rod and see if that fixes it. From what I just read, it sounds like my problem with vibration at high speeds and the wheel cupping on the inside edge. It also seem that it is the passenger side that tends to be a problem. I hope this is the cure to my shake. This has become very discouraging!!! I have replaced lower ball joints, outer tie rods, and my castor bushings so far.

Yes I put some old g35 17's on with hub centric rings. It was the same when I put the stock 16's back on.
