    I am getting a little bit of back and forth movement in my steering wheel while driving. More noticeable at higher speeds and especially if i hit a little bump in the road. Just very slightly back and forth. I recently replaced my steering rack bushings thinking that would be the fix.

    I am running 35's with 5100's on top setting.

    Truck has 300K on it.

    Aftermarket UCAs have new bushings and seem tight. i can't seem to find anything that shows signs of being worn out. Not sure if i should look at replacing inner and outer tierods? They seemed ok when I had them loose to do my rack bushings.

    Any thoughts on what to check?

    Wheel/tire balance would be high on the list. Rotate fronts to rears. Try again.
