Replaced both front lower control arms, plus a front end alignment. Car had noticeable vibration at times and then would smooth out. Dealer suggested tires needed to be re-balanced and they were on 3/13/18 but this did not cure problem. Dealer said replacing the lower control arms may have something to do with vibration. Dealer found the issue of the lower control arms needing to be replaced on 3/7/18 and that he could not do the requested front end alignment until the lower control arms were replaced; this also did not cure vibration problem.
