How many of you have changed steering rack bushings?

To the OP. Briefly:
You're referring to the same bushings even though people call them different things sometimes. My car's steering wasn't accurate at higher speeds even after an alignment. I ordered replacement polyurethane bushings from TM Engineeering and had my mechanic install them and perform a new alignment.
The steering was now accurate and confident. I highly recommend doing this.

Vibration from tire run-out / out-of-round?
Tire run-out: I've read Michellins are high quality and are "in round" around the tire and have equal-weight around the tire. A way to tell is the length of a tire maker's warranty, supposedly.
To diagnose flat spots: a brake run-out gauge can be used to measure tire run-out. It will tell you if you have flat spots (Hint: if you have china-cheapo tires then they have flat spots). Here's a link to a video:

Good luck!
