Vibration - not the good kind
So I've got an IS300 and I am running Megan Coilovers on 18s. I started to notice a vibration and when I went to paint the rotors/calipers I noticed the uneven pitting on the inside of the passenger front tire. There is a small camber - 1 degree as the vehicle is a little lowered and I had the coilovers installed about 2 years ago.
I had the tires replaced and car realigned yesterday and I am still getting the vibration.
Thoughts?

I took another look at them today. Both front suspension set ups have the upper ball joints popped. I am going to have them replaced tomorrow to see if it addresses the issue. I'll keep you posted on the results...

Update-
I installed the upper adjustable ball joint made by SPC. This made a big difference in killing most of the vibration while driving around town but i haven't taken it on the freeway yet.
New problem - I got the opportunity to look at the lower ball joints and they aren't doing so hot. About 1/2 an inch of play (not good) so I am looking at replacing those as well.
