Where in the hell are the washers?

If you alignment was off before this adventure that could affect how you felt the steering.

i think they have done a front end alignment every time they have had to replace the front bushings and now both sets, but i cannot disagree.

Could a poor alignment cause a "healthy" joint to pop, but then disappear when aligned correctly? I would say one of my control arm-strut rod bushing was already deteriorating (my fault.... torched it on accident trying to get inlinks off), and i constantly had issues with the front strut rod bushings.

When i brought up the issue to the shop they said they pulled and pried and couldnt find anything, so all i could think of was the strut rod bushings ive had issues with countless times over. Anyways its the same shop that has probably installed things incorrectly numerous times.

but i agree, i just cant find anything obvious other than the strut rod bushings until now and neither can they apparently. so probably a ball joint that is hiding its face or poor alignment.

Is the car lowered? Geometry can change, although these cars seem to do really well with 1.5” lowered.
