OLD.....???  WHO YOU CALLIN' OLD!!!!???  ;-)

My problem was way too much camber (negative) due to tired ball joints and more
tired lower inner control arm bushings.  I just swapped the LCAs and got rid of most
of the camber.  There is still more than the factory suggests, but since I am not
cupping the RE 730s anymore, and it handles like a go-cart, Im satisfied.  

How many miles do you have on the car, or more specifically, on the LCAs?

It might be a good time to change them, and also the tension strut bushings.

I haven't had to do a thing to my steering rack.  It definitely could use a flush,
but mechanically and structurally it is the same way it came from the factory. 
Remember also, that my car is more or less stock height.
