    Call me nuts. But I open up the hood after every run on my vehicles to cool off the engine. And if I forget to close the hood overnight, well....so be it. They're inside the garage anyway. Just sayin'.

    No play but one is seized, making a proper alignment impossible. Luckily the alignment isn't too bad...

    So what would be likely causes of some play in the steering on the highway? My car likes to walk a little bit. I had a hunch maybe tie rods but that doesn't seem to be the case. I just put AKG FCABs on last year but could they be worn already? Steering guibo? I need to get underneath the car, just curious of what you guys think.

    My guess would be steering guibo...

    Wandering. And a bit of bumpsteer I guess you could call it. The only way I can put it is that it just doesn't feel "connected" anymore. It feels like all the symptoms of bad FCABs, but I feel like my AKG's wouldn't be worn already.
