changed my lower ball joints-now gettin other stuff-
i changed my lower ball joints maybe 2 months ago, the car actually drives worse, they were changed professionally at a local mienkie i know the guy he works on my car here and there, anyways. its a gs400 with 100k miles on it.
it feels the steering is lose and whenever i hit a bump it wants to turn and on t he highway its worse..people suggested here the bushing might be bad, but what i dont understand is how can bushings be bad right after lower ball joints change.
i went to to shop today and had them checked out the joints/ bushings they said it all looks good..they said there is 0 play on tires and are tight, even i check no play in the tires, i already have alignment.. done from a good shop...i dont know what else to do other than to replace the following parts
can you guys please confirm this is what i need and if anything else i please add
Outer Tie Rod Set from swell-$116

daizen High Performance Control Arm Bushing Kits
Steering rack bushing
do i need anything else?
