Default Distinct vibration present while on the highway at speeds in excess of 75mph? Stock Avus's
Just had all control arms/tie rod ends replaced, along with a good alignment. Wheels were balanced and rotated. I have a very distinct, violent front end shaking whilst cruising on the hwy at speeds 75mph+ only.

Bent rims (stock avus's)??

Does this sound indicative of a betn rim(s)?

I know it's a long shot now (March) but do you have snow on the ground and in your wheels?

hard to say without feeling it, but it could be tire related as well.

Get a re-balance at a good tire shop. They should be able to tell you if your rim is bent.

Default could be:
1) a bent rim
2) you lugs are not seated or torqued right
3) your wheels & tires are not balanced to zero

I had the same thing. It was an out-of-balance wheel for me.
