Glad you got it! Sometimes these problems are a chase it.

Thanks! And for sure - I tried to start with the items I knew needed to be done and were cheap/easy and just kept progressing (idler arm assembly, sway bar bushings, then ball joints) and luckily it didn't take too much money or effort to get there!

I wanted to update everyone that there was still a slight shake after replacing the ball joints, and on further inspection my front passenger Bilstein shock had developed a slight leak. I sent some pictures to Bilstein USA and they helped me get a warranty replacement. I installed it yesterday and so far it's much, MUCH better. I think the shock is probably what originally caused this issue, but glad it caused me to replace some items that were past their service life.
