Default Re: Front end help?

Thanks for replies,
Everything worked good,for years,then something happened to start the problem.
Took front apart, and found several possibilities, lower a arms had a lot of looseness, has solid bushings,which should of had 1/2 bolts and I used the original metric bolts,have to drill holes in frame for 1/2 bolt to go through,worked for a long time then must of started moving, steer shaft between steering box and column has some slack and center link at idler arm has some looseness and drivers front wheel bearing had some movement.
Hopefully one or combination of these are causing the problem,or did the problem cause the looseness?
Going to remove anything left on car that has to do with steering and check over,and magnaflux anything I can and can't mag it may throw away and replace.
Shake was so violent scared of having something damaged that will break later,so not taking any chances
