Since we swapped out the UCAs to the Als I have noticed a few things. 1-after it has been sitting for awhile and cooled off, if I turn the wheel while driving I have a kreeking kind of noise. Almost like...a person walking on an old wooden victorian floor, lol.
2-Sometimes, not all that often, while turning the wheel I will feel a thunk under the drivers side floor board. I am trying to remember where exactly...I believe it was under my right foot while I had it on the gas pedel. Has anyone else had this? My first thought was something with the A-Arms but then I thought, perhaps my steering box? A couple weeks ago I had some serious noises coming from the power steering, I was still in the drive way. I popped the hood and the PS Fluid was foaming up. I cleaned it up added more fluid and have not had any issues since. It was the first time I have had that happen and I know it usually means there is a leak somewhere but the ground is dry and so was the engine compartment, other than around the cap form when I took it off, lol.

Grease a few things....namely sway bar bushings. Even if it isn't them, they are probably in need anyway.

I can't remember for sure but I think your Father ( In Law maybe ) installed them while you were at work right?
Did you ever loosen them with full weight sitting on the ground and retighten ( retorque) them ?

Well once again you were right Tom. Checked the bolts and the drivers side rear bolt was a tad loose. I tightened it down and it is back to normal. Now I have a different issue, lol. Will do a quick search before i post about it. Perhaps someone else has had the same issue.

Thank you Tom!
