I installed Pedders XA coilovers, ZL1 sway bars front and rear, endlinks, radius rod bushing inserts, and steering rack bushing.
Before I took the car for alignment there was a funny noise almost like a faint growling that lasted for a few minutes and it sounded like it was from the front.
I just got it back from alignment and the noise was there again only for a few minutes and again it sounds like it's in the front and seemed to change pitch with my steering inputs while it lasted.

I suspect the rack bushing but, I don't see anything wrong with the installation, the hardware is tight, and it's well lubed.

Any thoughts???

Turn your steering wheel full turns while sitting still a few times, lock to lock, with the car running. Might have some air in the PS system. Worth a shot.
