250mm Links on 08 LS update
What a difference good shocks and struts make.
Just put ~150 miles on my BC (08 LS). Running stock steel wheels with 195/65-15 Toyo tires.
Much much better. What a pleasent difference.
I have noticed just a bit of wondering on the road. and at low speed even stopped i hear and fee a little pop from the RF. I dont think it is the fuse to the muffler bearing.
As a quick recap i just installed Delco FE5 shocks & Struts orig LS springs & sway bars & MEVOTECH CMS50173 &50174 LCAs with cheep 250mm links.
This AM i had the better 3/4 turn the wheel back and forth
~ 45 to 60 degrees (engine running) one could hear and feel the bump/snap pop. Had the wheels turned all the way R then back just enough to be off the limits and repeated the back and forth on the steering wheel.
I think I felt the movement in the tie rod end. @ 113k miles, it does not suprise me.
My old school thoughts without thinking hard about it is to replace
All of the tie rods and tie rod ends and then set the toe-in @ ~$80-$100 + boots & clamps. VS a rebuilt rack @~$180
Suggestions or rack rebuild guide instructions?

Hummm
Could see that as the possible hunting / wondering. Mind you, this is verry minor. It does not answer the feel or sound.
Might need to take it north to get an expert.
