Not good. how bad is it??
ok I have a 2003 325I with 98,041 miles and for a while now the front tires have been real shaky and now I have the brake sign on the abs sign on and the tire traction sign on. It shakes a lot on turns give me an unpleasant ride but I'm not sure what it is I know its not the rims I just had them balanced and aligned so what could it be and where's the best place I can get the parts and it fixed thanks a lot I know you guys will help me out

First put the car on jack stands. Grab the wheel and give it a 3-9 and 12-6 check (checks bearings and steering). Then get a hold of each suspension component (including rotors and calipers) and give it a good shake test. From there you may find your problem... hopefully

If the wheels are off the ground the wheel will move a can shake it pretty easily and my steering wheel moves as well is that suppose to happen?

Don't shake the wheel with all you got haha. Just enough to where you can here a slight clunk or whatever the noise. And the there should be a little but tight movement while checking 3 and 9 because of the steering. If there is a clunk at 3 and 9 then it's more than likely an outer tie rod end. I could be wrong though.

I don't remember what they said was the problem exaclty but the contol arm bushings does sound familiar I think that might be what they said was the problem. A bad speed sensor lights up all four signs? Thanks for the help guys
