Nope, not related.....

 

Ok. Thanks!

I would consider getting an alignment after changing struts/shocks.

Since worn ones droop/sag more, the new ones may require some adjusting to avoid issues. i.e. uneven tire wear, bad handling, road noise

Ok. As of now, the steering doesn't seem any different than before the struts/shocks were changed, but I will make sure to alignment once I can get rid of most of the clunking. I'm going to be checking the rest of the rear bushings(lower and upper control arm bushings, lateral arm bushings, and sway bar bushings) when I swap out the end links.

Most likely this is coming in late, but alignment is required when struts, strut mounts, and balljoints are changed. I recently replaced outer ball joints in the front suspension and needed to do an alignment as it went way off due to new components replacing 11 year old factory original.

Hope this helps!
