    I did do that a couple of times and didn't notice any play in that direction. It's another issue on my mind for sure.

    Alright, I got my new LCAs in. The ball joints were also very loose. Had it aligned, the tech didn't seem to believe me when I said I needed more positive caster. Ended up with close to zero toe and camber, caster is at 1.6 and 1.7 L&R respectively. No rubbing when parking, but I can definitely feel the need for another degree of caster when I'm driving around.

    Next up are struts and wheel bearings in a few weeks. And another alignment.
