    While driving down the road, my steering feels tight and fine, but if I go over a bump while turning - like every day pulling into my driveway - I get rattly feedback through the steering wheel. I'm looking for clues where to look. I have already replaced the inners and the sway links. The outers *seemed* okay. What other likely culprits are there for a truck with some miles?

    I came across this thread, but the symptoms sounded a little more severe than what I'm experiencing (no loud clunking). Maybe?

    I'm hoping it's not bushings on the control arms.

    The zip tie fix should correct your problem.
