Help?

i have a shaking in my gas pedal and steering wheel when going over 100km , the shake only happens when I give it gas and goes away when I let off the gas . Checked my wheels and they're balanced , I do have a control arm bushing that's shot, would that cause this ??

Get powell trailing CABs, they are awesome. Its possible that it could be an axle too. One thing i noticed about bad control arm bushings on my car was when braking moderatly hard, i could feel the car sway left to right.

It does sway when braking hard, not too bad . My control arms aren't stock, it very well could be mud in my wheels cause you know spring and such it started right after washing my car .

also my steering rack or whatever rattles and I have 4psi more in one of my front tires lol so those two may be the culprit it only happens when going 100km or so and is very faint shake , goes away below and over
