At 80K miles you're likely due for front control arm bushings or possibly control arms and bushings. The lower ball joints are part of the control arm assembly and when they get a bit of wear along with worn bushings you can definitely get a bit of a loose feel at highway speed and you might even start to get some tramlining.

Greetings dc_wright I have steering problems. When turning from a stop my steering growels. I have about 80K on my 2003 Z-4. Is it a front control arm bushing problem?
Looking forward to your response.
