In any case, my car now rides like a luxo-sports car. Stiff and quiet.

Did you replace the strut at the same time? Did you ever try to test the strut by having someone sit in the car while you rocked the front corners of the car up and down?

It really sounds like the steering rack to me. I have been wondering if it is related to this TSB:

On a non-related note, does anyone have a good test to see if your tires are rubbing the wheel wells? Would the sound be a nasty grinding noise or a simple squonk noise? I get a squonk that sound like rubber rubbing on metal but I think it is actually the over-seized jack I have in the trunk which is surrounded by styrofoam and just sitting between the spare tire and the wall of the recess. I would think a tire rubbing on the wheel well would make a much worse noise but I wanted to test it out for sure. I was thinking some driveway chalk on the tire and see if it get rubbed off.
