well I have done the tt, and ever since, it seems like the front end is loose, like when you hit a good size bump, it feels like the lower control arms are loose. any ideas?
 






If you're really concerned about them being loose you can always tighten them. :p It's the big bolt right in the front.

Although I'm not really sure how you could just know if they were loose. The parts in the SLA that wear easily are:

1.Ball joints. (upper and lower for each side)
2.Tie rod ends (inner and outer for each side)
3.Control arm bushings (upper and lower for each side)
4.Hub and wheel beaing assemblies (one for each side)
5.Sway bar bushings (main and one for each side)

Could be just bad shocks though.
