cured mysterious 70mph vibe

Today me and the pops did about 25 miles desert driving, we always do on special occasions(today is my birthday). so at the end on flat, so i thought, sandy spot i started to do a s*** load of donuts. Well i hit a wierd 2ft diameter hole in the ground, blew a bead and took off the steering stop on my lower control arm. so now on the highway, after just filling the tire with air i get ZERO shimmy/shake at the typical 65-75 speed. I'm know way saying this is a cure but for some weird reason it worked.


p.s. i've only posted here a few times, but I do browse alot.

I noticed when I was taking off my leveling kit that the stops on the control arms did look a little rough, has anyone else noticed this?
