Thank you all for the great feedback. Travelling in the military makes me a little rusty on quick assessments. We plan to install a front end rebuild (polygraphite bushing) kit, with new tie-rod ends and new IDLER ARM. I hope that gets it. I will be sure to troubleshoot based on whether that fixes things.

I'm about 95% confident in seeing if the brakes were installed properly; I'm fairly meticulous about whether things are straight and tightened and so on... We did adjust the brakes with the front end in the air and they are pretty even.

Again, thanks for all your help.
