Awesome! Inexpensive fixes are the best!

Thanks never would guessed at that being an issue. Do you think you need to re align or confirm set up?

It shouldn't need to re-aligned. All the other bolts were tight, so the crossmember wasn't moving laterally.

Took it to alignment because I replaced the Tie Rods. Those I did not do during the suspension rebuild, so hoped these would eliminate it, but it did not.
