Poeple have me worried lately with all the broken bj's. My car has 126k and am not sure if anything has been replaced. (minus strut rod bushings and lower ds bj) Both my friend at carex that performed the work and pep boys who did the alighnment said everthing was tight.

But i do have something binding up front that makes it hard to steer. Meaning i have to actually put in some effort to turn the wheel. The steering wheel also doesnt correct itself all the time if i take a turn. Just stays at the last point i used. I heard a binding bj is just as likely to break as one clunking and making noise.

No sounds, creeks, moans and goes down the road stright.

Could it be the caster or camber?????? The sheet they printed out had all the factory specs and the mark matched up.

Tell me i'm being paranoid

you could be having a problem with the evo ( electronic variable orrifice ) which is part of the air suspension module and helps your power steering assist. when they go bad, they tend to give you tight spots in turning, until they completely quit causing a manual steering feeling. i would have the car scanned for codes and see if anything pops up. its either that or you could have a dry ball joint somewhere, that will give a tight turning feeling too.
