Serious Noise from Front End (archive)

Looking to get some feedback from the board with the issues I am having with my '97 Coupe with 60K miles.

Recently I began to get a serious noise and vibration through the steering wheel, coming from the front end when I drove at 50MPH and higher. Seemed that when I would move the wheel left or right it would go away. Took it to the dealer and they told me that the bushings were cracking. I didn't fix it at that point because of a lack of time. I continued driving it and now I have a very large noise as if the bushing have cracked all the way and are flopping around. I am going to take it to the dealer and have them replace the bushings. I just don't want to spend the money and find out it was the shocks or another problem.

Another note is that when I turn around a sharp curve at low speeds I get a humming noise.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh Mann
