Here is a video I took of the front end slack I was battling.

Everything was new on the front end except the bearings at this point.

The idler and relay arm were new (ok about 3000 miles) when I took this. Most of this was caused by the new "Built to OEM specs" idler arm and relay arm rocking on their pivot points.

I replaced them with Dave Lenzi rebuilts and lowered the front end so that the axle and tie rod ends were level, then most of this disappeared, although I can still move the wheels about 1/4".
