Yes they are, still rebuilt front end had a alignment start driving around to find and fix other issues and it started popping and growling . I Noticed the idler was moving around when wheel was turned. They are tight now. You think they changed alignment?

IIRC, there's a little "slop" naturally, in the bolt holes. Therefore, you should get the car sitting level, and get the idler arm side of the center link the same distance from the ground as the pitman arm side, before you tighten it down.

I don't notice anything in steering wheel position. I'm kinda feeling a little pull side to side but, it could be my imagination. Would it change just toe or cater or probably both?I might check it using one of the driveway alignment methods if the shop won't recheck it free or discounted
