Back when I worked at a Pontiac/Dodge dealership I never saw bad control arm bushing cause a vibration then again I never saw a bad control arm bushing. But I was working on cars/trucks that where mostly less that 10 years old not 25+ years old. In my experance 90% of vibrations are tire/wheel related, 5% worn/broken suspension components, 5% driveline, and 0% alignment.

That being said when I got my first car (69 Grand Prix) it would vibrate violently above 60 untill the upper control arm bushings were replaced.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
