So I changed the steering rack bushings because every time I back off my driveway I hear a thump while I turn the steering wheel almost to lock but not all. I've learned on this forum that it helps. But I still hear the noise. I also hear it whenever I turn my steering wheel during agressive parking maneuvers. I was wondering what else could be bad or unscrewed. Any help is greatly appreciated.

more then likely a tie-rod or your stearing rack bushings are shot and the rack is moving around.

I have the same problem, have yet to fix it, I think it's the strut bearings shifting around in the tower, try replacing those and torqueing the nuts to spec
