    At random my century shakes aggressively left and right like wobbling badly. It also I’ve notice react to every bad spot in the road.it’s just tough to control it sometimes. Cab shocks got changed. Front shocks/ rear. Alignment got done. Same issue. Gear box, steering shaft. Tires are new and in good shape. Would the front springs cause this? Would upgrading to the airbag front suspension make a difference ?

    I was chasing down bad vibrations under acceleration. Did everything, tires, pins, alignment, shocks, tie rod ends, motor mounts. Ended up being injector #1. Replaced all my injectors with harness and no vibrations since

    that’s why under acceleration is a consideration

    To go along with the acceleration note, it could be also be a motor mount.

    All my
    Injectors are new. Recent Inframe and motor mounts got changed about a year and change ago. I saw this YouTube video where someone was saying his springs was the issue because one side was lower than the other not sure
