All of the front suspension parts including OE Boge shocks plus KYB rear
shocks, have been replaced over the last year.  The point about steering
play interests me though.  I replaced the steering rack just before I
purchased the new tires.  I assume the rebuilt rack (Bus Depot) is good, it
feels good and tight, but could there be something wrong with it?  The tie
rod ends are new german ones, the upper ball joints and upper bushings were
done in the last six months.

On Joel's recommendation, I'm going to play with the air pressures and see
what happens.

Thanks,
Bill

I too am very happy with my Yokohama Y370 tires.

It looks like you have the correct tire, but may have some other problems.
Check your steering play, and check your shocks.  Time for new ball joints?
