1st thing to check is trackrod ends, balljoints, wishbones bushes, wheel bearings etc & then the geometry. Who did the alignment? Do you know what was checked? Has anything been replaced at the front end that could have started the wear prematurely but has been sorted now?

Hi , I have checked the Track rod ends and ball joints and they have no play,
I will have a look at the wishbone bushes and se if they are worn. Can the bushes be replaced and how do you know they are worn. Nothing has been replaced on the front end.
