When accelerating from 0-30 mph I can feel a small shutter and vibration in my seat and steering wheel. I just ordered some new bushings for my front and rear control arms, but is there anything else that could be causing this? If its the trans mount then I don't care, I'm getting rid of this stupid tyranny as soon as I find a w58 for a good price.

One thing that concerns me is that it could be a ball joint. Could anyone tell me what a bad ball joint feels like? And also, could it be time for new motor mounts?

 

Well if it is a ball joint, it's most likely your lower, load carrying ball joint..i think they are non replaceable
