    It's lifted.

    Why do you think you need parts?

    Something broken? Uber miles? Someone tell you you did?

    You have lift blocks in the rear, which is "ok" to have IMHO.

    The front is likely also lifted, at the top of the coilovers. There is likely blocks there as well. You would have to send a picture tho to double check.

    Regarding vibes.... That can be many things.

    Is it more or less worse, at speed, when shifting vehicle weight left/right? Like changing lanes more promptly. If so, it may just be a tire, or it could be a wheel bearing/CV.

    While braking? Likely a rotor.

    Torn CV boot? Thats the biggest concern. Might be why it looks like there is oil/grease everywhere

    Looks like your CV boot is split. You probably lost a lot of grease.

    Yeah, both CV boots are torn on the front. I've had new tires for about a year, I get them balanced and rotated almost every time I get an oil change, mainly because I put a lot of miles on the work truck. 143k right now. The wobble is consistent, since I drive solo and pay attention I'm one of the few that notices it. I'm planning on changing out the CV Axles, the boots, bearings, shocks and maybe the engine mounts because I'll I'll be in the area anyway.
