After replacing EVERYTHING on the front suspension I have noticed that when hitting potholes especially with steering angle, there is still a slop felt through the steering wheel.

The same kind of slop or pop you get with blown tierod ends. Could this be in the steering box? I assume I have moved to the next weakest link in play after renewing the entire front suspension.

I have not done the front bearings but I did clean and repack them. Everything was torqued to Mercedes Factory Manual Spec.
