Default 300d steering vibration

Quick help. My 85 300d is vibrating badly between 60-70mph. It gets really noticable when turning left or right at that speed. Am I looking at tie rods?

Default RE: 300d steering vibration

raise each front wheel one at a time grab tire at 3 and 9 o'clock and wiggle back and forth any play should be tie rod 2 and 8 o'clock and4 and 10 o'clock can check wheel bearings.remove inspect adjust if play is found. ball joints are a little more involved and better done on a lift. there is also pitman arm idler arm and steering stabilizers on some models. if you have a good idea with what you know you'l probably figure it out otherwise see a reputable shop.
