I also had a bent control arm and had to do an allignment afterwards.
UPDATE: Tires were not balanced, and the dealer slapped on some winter tires onto the car with cupping, this was the cause of the shutter. it felt like a bearing howling noise, but was just the crappy tires. I also installed new front pads and rotors and it got rid of the braking vibration. Car is mostly smooth now, just have to get rid of these runflat summer 19s now!
